At the Tangier International University Theater Festival FITUT 2025, the play Replika (directed by Andrius Pulkauninkas) won the award for Best Ensemble Performance. The festival, which took place from November 3 to 7, brought together 12 universities from 9 countries. The amateur theater troupe of Vilnius University (VU) students was recognized alongside many troupes from art academies – future acting professionals.
The performance Replica explores the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence through movement, sound, and visual solutions. By creating copies, mutations, and hybrid bodies, it raises questions about identity, originality, and the influence of technology on life.
