Artūras Barysas “Baras” (1954 –2005) was a Lithuanian “counter-culture” actor, singer, photographer, and filmmaker, known as the father of modern Lithuanian avant-garde. His works were declared “apolitical and immoral” by the cultural nomenklatura of the Soviet Union. “US” is an ironic look at the Victory Day Communist parade on the main street of Vilnius.
