The return of the play is also special in that the main role will be played again by ACH Theatre's longtime leading soloist Beata Molytė, who has been playing Anna Karenina since the first premiere performance. The audience will have the opportunity not only in Vilnius and Kaunas, but also in several other cities of Lithuania to admire the timeless and always impeccable mastery of movement, suggestive and sensual dance and dramatic performance of this star of the stage.

When writing the novel "Anna Karenina", L. Tolstoy spoke for the first time about a woman's right to happiness and personal choice, and that a woman should not become an instrument of a man's self-love and satisfaction, which was a big eyesore in the conservative and patriarchal European society of that time. Therefore, it is not surprising that the author predicted such a dramatic ending for the main character who defied society, which entered the history of literature, cinematography and theater forever and which still inspires creators of different genres all over the world. Even today, almost 150 years after the publication of the novel, the story of Anna Karenina is understood everywhere, it is universal, it evokes strong emotions, and thanks to the choreographer A. Cholina, this story was revived in a dance drama that captivated thousands of viewers. "When I met Beata Molytė, the ballet soloist of the Klaipėda Music Theater, I realized that this is my Ana", says A. Cholina, whose discovery of the soloist in the main role encouraged her to stage this performance. The creative tandem of both continues for many years, B. Molytė has played the main roles in other performances of A. Cholina as well. The scenography of the performance was created by stage designer Marijus Jacovskis, and the costumes and makeup by Juozas Statkevičius, so the performance leaves the audience with great aesthetic satisfaction. "While creating, I do not seek to frame my performances in any genre, I am interested in creating life itself on stage. A full, multi-layered life, as L. Tolstoy talks about in his novel." He weaves so much into it that one can get lost - as if against the complexity of life itself. I tried to refine what seemed important to me, exists in the present time and is relevant for the modern audience," says A. Cholina.
