Klaipėda Youth Theatre

"The Lighthouse" is the story of a person living on a lonely island. Surrounded daily by the restless waters of the sea, she opens up the most sensitive corners of her life and shares her greatest joys. What does a person's life look like on an island from which only birds escape, and no one else knows how dark it gets in the middle of the sea? The inhabitant of the lighthouse invites you to discover a world of fantasy and opens up the corners of her lonely life. Here, it remains unclear which reality is more real – the one when we close our eyes, or when we open them?

The play's author, Timotée de Fombelle, says he wanted to tell a story about loneliness. A person who knows nothing of the rest of the world, who lives surrounded by their small memories, rocks, and birds on an island. It is a work about a person whose entire life is a lighthouse. Here, everyday life merges with the seasons, and the horizon is constantly haunting. And reality here is brightest when we close our eyes.
