The play "Remyga" is connected with Šiauliai from the initial conception to the final realization. Rimantas Kmita, the author of the bestseller "Pietinia kronikas", who wrote the play especially for this performance, presents a phantasmagorical version of the story, woven from real facts and fiction. The play is about the city and its people, about real events and myths, about those for whom the city has become their destiny. "Remyga" takes viewers back to the first years of Independence. What (in)visible enemies did we fight then? What were we and what have we become?
The action of the play takes place in the controversial years 1988-1992 in Šiauliai. Many of us still well remember this difficult time of change, when the idealism of independence wrestled with the dark forces of the old structures. Remyga, the main character of the play, is torn between these two forces. After serving in the Soviet army in Afghanistan, Remyga returns to his native Šiauliai. He would like to live like "all normal people" - to be a beloved husband, a good father, a dutiful worker. But the shadows of the past and the surrounding chaos are getting thicker, and the dark forces are gaining more and more power. How to draw the line between good and evil in such a chaotic society? How do you stay honest with yourself and others? How to control your inner demons? What is the cost of independence - political and personal?
The creators of the show whipped up a hard-to-define genre cocktail of documentary material, everyday authenticity, psychedelic mysticism and live rock music. Director Oskars Koršunovas sees in "Remyga" the face of the whole of Lithuania at that time: "what happened in Šiauliai then happened in all of Lithuania".
