New comedy "Mergvakaris kalnuose"
About this event
A new comedy by "Kitoks teatras" based on Peter Quilter's play "Step by Step"
Do "Women Lie Better"? And what happens when they finally decide to tell the truth?
Three actresses well-known to the audience from the series "Moterys meluoja geriau" - Inga Norkutė, Aušra Štukytė, and Vitalija Mockevičiūtė - meet again! But this time not on the television screen, but on the theater stage. And not just anywhere - in the mountains, where you cannot run away from the truth, and old secrets can be heavier than a full hiker's backpack.
"Kitoks teatras" presents a new comedy full of adventure and life humor, "Mergvakaris kalnuose".
Three women. Two days in the mountains. One goal. And so many unspoken things that no backpack could hold them. Three friends go on a hike in the mountains to honor the memory of a recently deceased friend. Each carries a stone with a personal inscription, which they intend to leave at the top of the mountain.
It would seem that everything is simple - you just need to climb.
However... the higher the trio climbs, the more old grievances, love stories, unspoken truths, and secrets surface. And when fatigue, differences in character, and biting female humor are added to all this, even the simplest hike turns into a real test. Friends tease each other, argue, confide, comfort, and laugh at things that sometimes make them want to cry.
Because life is like climbing a mountain. Sometimes you slip, sometimes you fall, sometimes you want to quit everything... But with good friends, even the hardest path becomes an adventure.
"Mergvakaris kalnuose" is a witty, sensitive comedy full of unexpected situations about female friendship, love, life's twists and turns, and truths that we sometimes only dare to say when we are far from everyday life.
Will all three reach the top? What will they leave there - just the stones they brought or much more?
Director: Evaldas Jaras.
