Fire Hunt with Beaters

Fire Hunt with Beaters (Ugnies medžioklė su varovais, Hunt with Beaters for Fire) was the first Lithuanian theatre musical. Formally, its plot is a traditional love triangle, however with unexpected twists, evolving in the environment of Soviet Lithuania. The music is by Giedrius Kuprevičius, the libretto is by Saulius Šaltenis (songs) and Leonidas Jacinevičius (prose).

Lithuanian theatre critic Audronė Girdzijauskaitė explained the title as follows: "Fire is living human feelings, aspirations, desires. The chorus commenting on the actions and events are the beaters who help in the fire hunt".
