The present day understanding would state that in a context of studies of anthropological, visual studies any view is an equivalent expression of cultural discourse that is why approaching to culture through analysis of a film also may be successfully applied in knowing different cultural models around or even in our own societies. The first theoretical part is dedicated to review a conception of sexuality in a context of western culture: essencelisation vs constructionalism. The second part is dedicated to analysis sexuality as social construction in the discourse of power. M. Foucault is being introduced who underlines sexuality as a social construct in a discourse of power, processes of suppression of sexuality are being analysed as well as outcomes of the process. In a changing society, understanding of the world, new comprehensions concerning traditional conceptions of sexual roles, manifestations and transformation of sexuality as a social construct are being formed. After reviewing Lithuanian cinematography, we notice the changing expression of sexual images, roles, intercommunication. Forms of sexuality which were replaced out of public discourse, normative definitions of proper behaviour earlier, in a present period are simply being reproduced, revitalised – thus constructing a vision of transformation.

The article analyses different ways of interpreting and presenting social realities on contemporary Lithuanian thea-tre stage. While analysing Lithuanian performances of the last two decades one might state that the increasing number of works deal with the problems of contemporary social reality, new identities and sociocultural phenom-enons. However there is a substancial difference between performances produced during the first decade of the Independence and the ones produced during the second one. During the first decade Lithuanian theatre direc-tors tried to contemplate about emerging realities and social problems with the help of contemporary drama texts, whereas during the second decade the new modes of reflection of relevant societal topics began to take shape: per-sonal stories, unmediated presence of actors, deconstruction of canonic texts or images. With the help of two case studies – performance of Mark Ravenhill's shoping and Fucking(1999, OKT) and oedipus the king(2002, OKT) by Sophocles, both directed by Oskaras Koršunovas the analysis of different possibilities of reflecting contemporary re-alities onstage is performed. At the same time article raised more general questions about the notions and strategies of social / political theatre in post-soviet Lithuania.
