O. Garbarčukas passed away on the night of July 20-21 following an extended battle with cancer. His daughter, Zlata, announced the passing, a report later confirmed by Ruslana and the dance theater “Žyttia.” Ruslana shared a message of farewell to her long-time colleague on social media.
The passing marks the end of an era for the arts community. The legendary series “Women Lie Better” originated from the work of the “This Night I Lost My Closest Friend…” ensemble. Reflecting on the loss, the artist wrote, “It is a moment that is very difficult to live through.
Our Saška Garbarčukas is no longer with us. No words can describe how much he meant to me.”
The dance theater “Žyttia,” where Garbarčukas was affiliated for over 25 years, acknowledged his significant contributions. The theater noted that he was considered one of the most outstanding soloists within the troupe.
His career was marked by notable performances, such as those featured in the production that helped launch the popular series. The depth of his talent and dedication meant that his absence will be keenly felt by his peers and the community.
