Previously, Vidas Bareikis also staged the performance An Evening with a Book based on the novel The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov, and No Concert.

During a press conference organised in one Vilnius flat, the actors from the theatrical movement No Theatre used a telephone and a telephone directory to make calls to randomly selected people and to ask one and the same question, "Do you need theatre?" They did the same during the performance, and the audience listened to the conversation on the topic of theatre with citizens of Lithuania.
