Have you ever felt as if you suddenly no longer understand what script your life is taking place in, what genre of history where did you find yourself? Are you the main character or just a supporting character in someone else's movie? This is exactly how Edita feels.
"Dance, Edita, dance" is a tragicomic story about a young girl Edita, who works at a video rental at the beginning of Independence and tries to understand her place in the world by watching movies. In Edita's imagination, life is a movie, but she doesn't yet know what genre. Sometimes she is a fighter, sometimes a romantic heroine, sometimes a lonely teenager, lost between Hollywood dreams and the reality of Šiauliai.
At the center of the play is Edita's obsessive love for a boy who has no idea of her feelings. Like the novel Pietinia kronikas, Rimantas Kmita's new play balances between comedy and a sensitive, sincere exploration of the subject. With gentle humor, it reveals how a young woman's identity is formed when there are no clear models - when American films mix with post-Soviet reality, and free market ideas - with old, still unhealed traumas.
Eglė Vertelytė, a famous film director making her debut on the theater stage and author of the script for the film "Southern Chronicle", did not shy away from cinematography. elements, so in the performance screen projections, filmed episodes merge with live action and choreographer Airida Gudaites' interpretations of the film "Dirty Dances".
The director offers to observe the events of the stage as if it were a "tape" created in Edita's imagination. The viewer finds himself between two worlds - reality and fantasy, everyday traumas and cinematic dreams. Is it possible to survive in reality without diving into fantasy? Is it possible to create an original movie of your life while living among pirated VHS tapes?
The performance is like an extension of the novel "Southern Chronicle" on the stage of the theater, only here the version of Edita's story is told. The role of Edita in the play is created by Vaidilė Juozaitytė, one of the most promising actresses of the young generation from Šiauliai, who played Edita in the highly popular adaptation of the novel. On the theater stage, her partner is VŠDT actor Tautvydas Galkauskas. And, of course, the performance is performed in a real Šiauliai dialect.
The premiere is expected in 2025. June 5, 6
