PREMIERE! Banginis ant kranto
About this event
Banginis ant kranto Age rating: N-16 Duration: 1 hr. 45 min. "The transition from the world of a child to the world of an adult is a complex task; during it, intense changes occur: body physiology changes, a hormonal storm rages, personal self-awareness and reflection abilities develop rapidly, and one balances between dependence and autonomy; this period is experienced extremely painfully." /Excerpt from Uršulė Toleikytė's play "Banginis ant kranto"/ What does it mean to grow up in Independent Lithuania when we are raised by people whose lives and relationships were still shaped by the Soviet era? What do we inevitably inherit from them, and what can we choose to leave in the past? "Banginis ant kranto" is a fragmentary, dreamlike play about growing up and internal transformations. About memories traveling from generation to generation, unspoken feelings, and the desire to learn a different relationship with oneself and others. About the fact that sometimes, in order to be able to get onto the shore, you first need to dare to look into the dark water. Attention: the play is marked with an N-16 age restriction. Emotionally impactful themes are touched upon during the play, and smoke effects are used.
