A young man's tragic life and memories, adapted from Ričardas Gavelis's novel.
This theatrical adaptation of Ričardas Gavelis's "Memoirs of a Young Man" delves into the life of Leonas Ciparis, a young man navigating the complexities of Soviet-era Lithuania. The play explores his desperate need for community and belonging amidst a backdrop of stagnation and societal chaos, offering a poignant reflection on memory and identity.
