A wordless puppet theater adaptation of Oscar Wilde's classic, exploring vanity and self-destruction.
This wordless adaptation of Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray" delves into themes of duality and self-destruction through the unique lens of puppet theater. The creative team, known for their award-winning work, promises a visually rich and thought-provoking experience. Director Gintarė Radvilavičiūtė frames the story around the mirror as a portal to self-reflection and a potential trap of vanity. The production explores how an excessive focus on physical appearance can lead to egocentrism and a life devoid of true connection, echoing ancient beliefs about mirrors stealing the soul.
