/A two-part play based on Patrick Marber's play "Closer"/
Teatras ATVIRAS RATAS presents a play centered on four strangers, brought together by chance circumstances and led by individual choices into a confrontation of choices—both realistically recognizable and dreamily sensed—enveloped in love, lust, personal complexes, and total existential loneliness, which becomes their worst nightmare.
The synthesis of theater, cinema, and music in the play AKVARIUMAS invites all acquaintances, strangers, the concerned, the indifferent, the empathetic, the cynical, the disappointed, and the hopeful viewers to RECOGNIZE THEMSELVES IN THE THEATER.
//--It's a lie. A bunch of sad, beautifully photographed strangers, and all those rich assholes, art connoisseurs, explain how wonderful it is because that's what they want to see. Those people in the photos are sad and lonely, but the world in the photos looks wonderful. So, the exhibition has a calming effect, which is a complete lie. And what could be more attractive than a big, sweet lie?--//
The roles in the play are performed by the already well-known and beloved creators of ATVIRAS RATAS, theater and film actors Giedrius Kiela and Judita Urnikytė, the young generation actor Matas Pranskevičius, and debuting actress Karolina Kildaitė.
//--Lying is the most fun thing you can do without taking your clothes off. But it's better to take them off.--//
The kaleidoscope of human relationships, which is constantly highlighted and often uncomfortably questioned in the previous works of director Ieva Stundžytė, will be reflected this time in AKVARIUMAS.
//--Why isn't love enough?--//
