The aim of this article is the analysis images of repressed memory as a case of nonconformist identity creation in Giedrius Mackevicius’ performance The Siege (lt. Apsiaustis). The theme of the liberation from the sieged city, which corresponds to Kaunas, reveals the state of young Lithuanian artists who are not abiding with social conformism, and also it reflects the experiences of social trauma. When investigating the staging of Judita Vaiciunaite’s play The Siege in 1971, the aim is to reveal the narrative of social trauma and nonconformist identity, reflected in the metaphorical narration about the characters of Judita Vaiciunaite’s poetical drama, who are living with the experiences of the sieged city and who were performed in 1971 by the amateur theatre troupe in Kaunas, in the Trade Union Palace of Culture. One of the reasons, making to remember and reminding about this performance, is associated with a constantly reviving sign of civilization’s development: political systems create spectacular totalitarian structures based on the strategies of imprisonment memory.
