Early spring morning. It's falling apart. The family is about to sit down at the breakfast table, but one son is late. How can he afford it? After all, certain rules must be followed at home. Do not be late, do not hide anything, speak at the right time and be silent at the right time. The family obeys these rules and everyone who enters the door of the house must obey. In Virginija Rimkaitė's play "Patina" the closest people act, but their official and cold communication betrays that the playwright is telling us about family relations in crisis. At the center of the play is the Mother, who creates the myth of a harsh world outside the walls of the house and the opposite illusion of a safe home. However, security here equals unlimited control by family members. Eldest son Henrik, who has a congenital heart defect, does not have great social skills, so we watch his absurdly comical efforts to form relationships with the women chosen by Mother to be his wives and nurses. The younger son Alberts works nearby, as if imperceptibly, whose silence is undoubtedly hiding something. The events of one day in the play lead to the dramatic consequences of the rebellion against the Mother's system. The director of the play, Eglė Švedkauskaitė, says that she is intrigued by the world created by the Mother, in which other characters easily become hostages: "being merciless to herself as much as to others, the Mother protects her own myth about family well-being and values. Family relations have always been a relevant topic for society - the family changes with the changing times and this causes breaks and conflicts between people with different beliefs, between different generations. In this play, we will talk about the distorted reality when family values turn into a justification for cruelty."
