Director Gabrielė Tuminaitė and playwright Paulina Pukytė presents the classical Lithuanian literature masterpiece to the public, presented in a new and very attractive manner. By giving up the stereotypical interpretations, which are overgrown with this Samogitian work and his famous characters - Katre, her father, John and others, the creators with a team of several generations allow the author of the work to be seen in a different way. Asked if the modern world of emancipation and equal opportunities for women really changed so strongly from the description of Žemaitė? The performance reflects the creators' attempts to understand the 19th century. the concepts of marriage, family, love and happiness and compare them with modern.

The rural life of the little theater "Maja" is not a long -standing theater. However, Vytautas Narbutas' character environment - the remains of the abandoned stadium - is imbued with both fertilizing houses and an internal atmosphere. The performance is full of stage symbolism and generalizations that create an almost surreal world. The Katrė, who comes to Vingiai House, enters a real dream nightmare from which only death will be able to liberate…

The most prominent representative of realism in Lithuanian literature Žemaitė (1845-1921) is not only a great prose writer, but also an educator, an active public figure, one of the most prominent personalities of her time culture. Due to his lively extroverted way, there was no wit, he quickly became connected, and had a lot of communication. He began to write in fifty and created over 350 prose texts. Both in specific works and its "autobiography" are the first and so far one of the most prominent feminist reflections in Lithuanian culture. Samogitian also began to distinguish between biological and social gender concepts, and their use was also visible in the story "martyr". In addition to literary creation, she soon became involved in social activities - organizing the first women's Congress in 1907. In Kaunas, he worked as a responsible editor in the newspaper Lietuvos Žinios, took care of the contents of the newspaper additives "School" and "Aušrinė". Health was affected by two weeks in prison, which was due to censorship. During the war, he actively patronized the victims, went to the United States to raise funds, lived there with a son, and actively engaged in women's movement, said speeches. The strong feminist posture of Žemaitė also manifested itself in an important element of clothing - a scarf, which was bound as a protest to fight against the devaluation of women's situation, especially in the rural environment. Died in Lithuania.

"And still, the life of the 19th century, described by Žemaitė, seemed an archaic, the" marginal "staging was a costume folk soap opera, and because of the tragedy of Katre and the desperate situation of a woman, the social order was already lost. But today we see that this story is also about us and how the "main cell of society" can destroy a person, and how aggressive, dull, inert mass eats the individual. "

Paulina Pukytė, playwright.

"I did not want to illustrate the mud mentioned in Žemaitė's work, the harsh household. Especially since the author herself did not write completely realistically, he chose hyperbolization.
