ATSITIKTINIS ŽMOGUS rež. J. Vaitkus

Performance "Random Person" (dir. J. Vaitkus)

2024 on October 11 and November 27 at 6:30 p.m. In the VDU theater (S. Daukanto st. 27, Kaunas) it will be possible to see a performance that has been recognized by theater critics and liked by the audience, based on the play of the subtle contemporary French playwright Yasmina Reza. joy, despair and fragility, about the search for closeness. "Y. Reza's dramaturgy is light intellectual theater. It brought back to the theater a whole generation of people who found serious dramas too long and often boring, and light comedies too banal to occupy their precious time," aptly summed up The Spectator reviewer.

The train, traveling from Paris to Frankfurt, a man and a woman meet in a coupe. He is a famous writer, she is his fan, but it is not so easy for them to establish a relationship. The play consists of the characters' internal monologues - bursting streams of thoughts. "My plays are often called comedies, the audience laughs a lot, but I think they are tragedies. These are funny tragedies, but still tragedies," Yasmina Reza describes her work, whose plays, awarded with many prestigious prizes, are staged from Berlin to Buenos Aires.

Aging writer, author of the novel "Random Man" , Arvydas Dapšys, who plays Mr. Parskis, says: "It seems to me that in this performance we managed to show that age is not an obstacle for a miracle to happen. Therefore, we aged our heroes with make-up. For some reason, we think that nothing wonderful can happen to the elderly. But it happens. Of course, not every day. The greater the impression of a miracle".

Critic Daiva Šabasevičienė wrote about the performance, whose atmosphere is characterized by a suggestive combination of comedy and melancholy: "A random person" is characterized by cleanliness, minimalism and a bright concept. The main tool of the performance is the language of shades. There are so many half-tones of acting here, there are so many opportunities left for them to multiply, that one becomes envious, looking at the creative bliss experienced by the actors. This performance, like a rare one, has a lot of possibilities to vary and multiply subtexts. Not only does it not last long, but it passes in a flash. The audience reacts to him in one breath, without any sneezing or coughing. You even want a sequel: what will happen next after the "happy ending?"

"Mens Publica" Public Theater has presented to the audience the works of many famous authors: the play "Lunch with Ludvik" (after Th. Bernhard play) and "Blindness" (based on E. Canetti's novel). The latest plays continue to present the works of the most prominent European writers and discuss topics relevant to contemporary society together continues the presentation of Yasmina Reza's work to the Lithuanian public. more tickets you can contact: vipklientai@bilietai.lt
