Klaipėdos jaunimo teatras | spektaklis Būti Alisa (rež. D. Girauldon)

It is very likely that if you ask a random passer-by, "What do you know about Lewis Carroll?" you will hear about a little girl, an eternally late white rabbit and a fantastic world. "Alice in Wonderland", originally named by the author "Alice's Adventures under the Ground", is an attention-grabbing and inexhaustible work. It has been produced in many genres such as musicals, contemporary operas, ballets, films and plays. There is a myth, an author, a story behind these adaptations, which go far beyond just telling the story of a child's dream. Oxford logic professor L. Carroll created a world where nonsense and childhood intertwine, raising the question: what remains of Louis for Alice?

In the performance of the Klaipėda Youth Theater , directed by French director Didier Girauldon, BEING ALICE goes beyond simply depicting the classic fairy tale. The aim is to explore together with the viewer this duality, the dialogue between the author and his work, between reality and imagination.

In the work of the author Lewis Carroll, his ability to reflect the dream-like nature of existence is fascinating, which reminds us of Shakespeare's famous phrase: "matter, of which dreams are made." This work observes the subtle distance between words and the many meanings they can acquire, which can be assigned to them, an uneven mask. This play of words and their meanings reveals our most intimate truths, which, like reflections in a mirror, can sometimes be cruel, but always sublime. It is a deep questioning of our essence: "to be or not to be" in the presence of others.

"Alice in Wonderland", "Alice in the Mirror Kingdom", "The Hunt for the Snark", excerpts from the author's letters, as well as poetic, philosophical and theatrical texts: these are just some of the sources that are explored, where each actor becomes the narrator, character, singer, musician and puppeteer, immersing himself in the story and bringing it to life. Every scene, every character, every word spoken opens the door to a world of mystery and magic. In joyful chaos, a moving cabinet of curiosities, the performers, like artists in their workshop, will take on the challenges of Alice's dream-filled universe and its constant metamorphoses.

Director Didier Girauldon is a theater and opera director, actor, producer and educator, more than two participating in international projects for decades in France, England, United States of America, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Scotland and Canada. As a multidisciplinary artist, he explores collective creativity, focusing on the dynamics of movement, text and rhythmicity.
