The Baltic modern identity is based on Resistance of minor and inspired by looking for secondary survivor in the post-war history. The power of Resistance was crushed and became overturn into a special phenomenon of culture, dominated by passion of the second, the minor, creating the important metaphor of “sleeping underground” (“in the roots of oak”), the archetype of Self being able to rise from the depths, corresponding to the natural element. This “sleeping in the earth” (underground) power inspired the Baltic modernism, the second left, what encodes the expression of the human and nation right. The destination of Baltic minimalism, looking for minority, who touched the dark side of times, is the dramaturgy of resurrection (besides, the second in music means intonation cell or the minor interval of second, the “first step out” from the prima). This all is going to create the process of transformation. The passionate secondary expresses his protest in creative work with “still point of turning world” (T. S. Eliot).
