Juozas Glinskis
Juozas Glinskis (born October 15, 1933, Sindriūnai, Pasvalys district) is a Lithuanian playwright. Works Juozas Glinskis marked a new stage in the development of Lithuanian theatre in the second half of the 20th century. He broke the traditional Lithuanian (usually a poetic drama) model, and is known as the pioneer of Lithuanian “theatre of cruelty”. The writer himself, however, calls his works “cognitive dramas”. They cross the protective boundaries of “common sense”; the play’s dramaturgic dynamics are based on shadings and manifestations of evil. In terms of style, that is a sarcastic grotesque, an anti-psychological caricature, a subconscious hysteria, and a combination of folkloric “native” motives and overshot of lyricism and romantic emotion. “Grasos namai” and “Kingas” (directed by Jonas Jurašas in 1970 and Jonas Vaitkus in 1980) marked a turning point in the hierarchy of aesthetic values in Lithuanian theatre.

Sąjūdis
Sąjūdis (, "Movement"), initially known as the Reform Movement of Lithuania ( lt, Lietuvos Persitvarkymo Sąjūdis), is the political organisation which led the struggle for Lithuanian independence in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was established on 3 June 1988, and was led by Vytautas Landsbergis. Its goal was to seek the return of independent status for Lithuania.

A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility.
