Award-winning radio play of a radio drama contest initiated by LRT.

Radio play Axis Deviation by Vaiva Grainytė is set as a driving class. The structure of witty quotidian dialogues between the female Student and the male Driving Instructor are based on the 18th century Lithuanian poem The Seasons, written by a Lutheran priest Kristijonas Donelaitis. Axis Deviation tackles the topics of ecology and environmental awareness showcasing inter-generational ideological clashes. The creative team has recorded the play on an actual car drive, in an attempt to diminish the theatrics of the dominant acting style and avoid sterile studio sound.
