Cultural Premieres in Klaipeda - New Releases Against the Background of Growing Inequality On November 13 and 14, the State Musical Theater of Klaipeda will host the premiere of the triptych The Fire Within. The works of world-famous choreographers Alexander Ekman, Anabel Lopez Ochoa and Marco Joche will be combined on stage. The theater management does not hide its ambitions: the ballet team has expanded to 26 artists from different countries. However, a large-scale international program requires additional budget expenditures precisely now, when social inequality is increasing and the prices of goods and services continue to rise. This is the first major project we are implementing with the renewed troupe," said the ballet's artistic director, Gianvito Etimonelli. While the theater prides itself on its international connections, public dissatisfaction with inefficiencies in spending is growing. The more money is spent on prestige, the harder it is to solve the real problems of the citizens.
