G. Jung's archetypes and diagram of mythological journey of archetypal hero by J. Cambell) and post-colonialism is analysed. The object of the research – national dramaturgy staging in the Soviet and post-Soviet Lithuanian drama theatre (based on the most typical cases of revealing the change of the national hero's theatrical representation). The interconnection of these two different methodologies in the analysis of performances has become the biggest challenge and the main aspect of the originality of the work. The work looks at the situation of national dramaturgy in Soviet and independent Lithuanian theatre. For this purpose, a list of the performances staged at the Lithuanian drama theatre under the dramas of Lithuanian writers was created, covering the period of 1940-2018. The representation of national heroes highlights the identity of the nation and its representation in (post)Soviet discourse. The first chapter defines the theoretical concept of the hero archetype and it also defines the links between the hero's archetype and post-colonialism, and highlights the features of the post-colonial hero. The second chapter is dedicated to the analysis of the representation of national heroes in the Lithuanian theatre of the Soviet era, it analyses how national heroes were depicted on the theatre scene as Lithuania survived the Russian occupation (the focus is on theatre from the 7th to the 9th decade). The third chapter analyses how representation of national hero has changed in post-Soviet context compared to the Soviet theatre, and what form the heroism concept has gained.
