Description:

The story of Mary of Egypt surrounded by rumors and mysticism is the point from which the creators of the performance resist. This woman, who lived in the 4th century, was forced to sell her body. Alexandria, together with the pilgrims traveled to Jerusalem. However, the gate to the Holy Sepulcher was closed to her. After that, she wandered in the desert for many years, seeking repentance and peace.

What might the story of a 21st century Mary of Egypt, wandering through an urbanized "desert" looking for liberation, look like? Has becoming more civilized left less violence in our society? Has she become more empathetic? More lenient? More tolerant? Finally, less patriarchal?

Today Mary of Egypt can be every woman - mother, daughter, sister, wife, who daily maneuvers that sharp border between the holy and the sinful.

In this premiere, OKT/Vilnius City Theater will invite you to enter another unexplored and this time extremely uncomfortable, but extremely important X territory. "Holy" is a territory of abuse, where a woman, who has suffered abuse and addiction all her life, finds the strength to get out of her crisis and choose a radically different direction in life. It is a play about a woman's survival in a radical patriarchal society full of violence against women.
