Klaipėda Youth Theatre

Henrik Ibsen "Little Eyolf"

The actors of the Klaipėda Youth Theatre have been on stage for 14 seasons – this experience allows them to take on complex, psychologically intense roles. This time, the audience will see the drama "Little Eyolf" by the classic, Henrik Ibsen.

It tells the story of the Allmers family, which is shaken by an unexpected tragedy. Alfred and Rita Allmers are raising their son Eyolf – a boy with a disability, whom his father is determined to make the center of his life, having given up his writing career. However, misfortune changes their plans and shatters their fragile world.

This is a play about pain, guilt, the desire for revenge, and the hope that it is possible to be reborn by freeing oneself from complex feelings. It is a drama about the fragility of love, responsibility, and the search for meaning after a painful loss. Anyone living in a relationship or raising children will recognize questions close to them: how long can we lie to ourselves that we cannot change anything, and who is truly responsible for the failures in our lives?

The Klaipėda Youth Theatre production invites the viewer into a safe but emotionally intense space where one can look at their own life as if from the outside.
