Imbued with an unyielding fighting spirit, the play "Boxing" is a sports-mystical travel drama about fighters of two generations. Saúlas (actor Laurynas Jurgelis) is a talented boxer whose exceptional potential is spotted by the club coach (actor Marius Repšys), who wants to make him a world champion at any cost. Tsiganas (actor Gediminas Rimeika) is a sidelined boxer who refuses to accept the position of an outsider. Sensing his ambitions, a businessman (actor Giedrius Savickas) takes the young athlete under his wing, seeking to overcome his own life traumas. For whom will the fight end in a knockout?
The confrontation between two young boxers, Saúlas and Tsiganas, at a local club sparks global ambitions that transcend geographical and sometimes even physical boundaries. The young men's journey to discover the fighter within them becomes a means for old wolves to settle scores. On one hand, society worships fighters as heroes; on the other, it rejects them, accusing them of aggression. The paradox of the fighter triggers a tendency toward self-destruction. Boxers destroy their opponents, but upon winning, they often feel they have destroyed themselves.
Unlike other sports, no one "plays" boxing. Therefore, real fighters will appear on the theater stage, supervised by professional coaches. The actors' physical and psychological preparation for the play is unique.
