SV. THE SPY, a two-part play based on Quentin Tarantino's The Frightful Eight

With the American Civil War recently broken out, a group of suspicious characters become stranded in a remote roadside inn during a blizzard. Among them, the new sheriff Chris Menix, who is coming to the town, criminal Daisy Domergiu, John Rut, nicknamed "Koriku", who is taking her to exchange for a reward, and a company of strangers. The fateful passengers diligently hide their identities, relationships and true intentions, causing tension and mortal danger for all those trapped in this place. Will anyone survive the night of the spy?

The joint work of Aleksandars Špilevojas and the rock band "Colours of Bubbles" in the Juozas Miltinis Drama Theater was inspired by the great love of the director and musicians for Quentin Tarantino's work. According to A. Špilevojaus, when he was interested in this artist, he learned that one of his favorite films, "The Hateful Eight", was hanging in the balance when his script was leaked. It was decided to cancel filming, but so that the work would not go in vain, readings were arranged in one of the theaters in Los Angeles. After receiving extremely positive reviews, the artist decided to return to filmmaking. "After learning about this story, I realized that I would really like to see such a performance in the theater. Since I'm not sure if Q. Tarantin will ever implement this idea, I decided to create the performance myself," A. Špilevoj says with a laugh.

"In this material together with as actors, we discover not America and the 19th century, but ourselves, our time, our country, our problems, our pressing questions, our unfulfilled hopes. "St. Speiga" is no longer Q. Tarantino's film, it is a story we are creating about a Man. Q. Tarantino set himself the task of creating a tragicomic story without a single positive hero. I don't want to say that all people on Earth are bad, but we have to admit that we are far from holy, so in this play we will see sinful humanity confronting the brightest ideas of humanism, love, freedom. I wonder who will win in the end?", says the director.

The project is financed by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania.
