„Vedybos“

Could be a comedy

Playwright: Gabrielė Labanauskaitė

(Based on the motives of N.V. Gogol's play)

Try to understand and explain, what in our digital, transformative and in a time marked by war, people think about being together. Why do they need each other? What motivates us to look for a friend and what causes us to break up?

Each of us at different moments in our lives experienced the feeling of loneliness and each of us tried to fill this void with "something". It's a matter for "someone", and "someone" shares his life with another person.

One ​​of the most successful Ukrainian directors, Stas Zhyrkov, searches for answers and explores loneliness, themes of age, marriage and divorce in the play "Marriage". The play, based on Nikolai Gogol's play, even after 180 years, invites us to look deeper and look for meaning and/or answers.

Why? Because the theater cares! It is not the numbers in the statistics that matter (unfortunately, Lithuania and Latvia are the leaders in divorces, 3.1 divorces per 1,000 inhabitants), but the topic that is relevant today and TOMORROW. The theater is concerned with the analysis of a time slice, reflection on world events and societal problems, disclosure of topics that may be (un)popular and/or (un)relevant here and now. And their relevance depends only on our desire to understand these topics.

During the performance, you will feel close to what will happen on stage. In the restored five-room apartment, the audience will have the opportunity to feel as if they were there. Such closeness of the viewer is necessary for maximum immersion in the reality of what is happening.

Thanks to the Lithuanian dramatist Gabrielė Labanauskaitė, the characters of the re-created play are brought to the present, more recognizable and close, and their dialogues are more relevant and acute for today's problems.

We promise: during the performance some will laugh and smile at the comedy of strange situations, others will recognize their own life experiences, which are not always so easy to laugh at...
