The performance is based on B. Sruoga's novel "Forest of the Gods", revealing the experiences experienced in the concentration camp in Štuthów (Poland) during the Second World War.
Without departing from the original text and maintaining an ironic narrative tone (the production uses the stand-up comedy genre), the play depicts the relationship between guards and prisoners, the hierarchy of the camp, the debilitating jobs, a miserable household and punishments crushing human dignity. The author and director of the play, Agnė Sunklodaitė, based on her successful creative experience and the genre possibilities of puppet and object theater, explores essential questions about human nature in the production: what is humanity? Where is the line between humanity and dehumanization? Are we still able to understand the horrors of the holocaust and remain vigilant so that similar things do not happen again?
In the opinion of the creators of the show, today B. Sruoga's "Forest of the Gods" is more relevant than ever. People tend to forget the great lessons of history. Compassion and tolerance are declared, but right here it is possible to be horrified by "different" people, as if in the subconscious there is a desire for a perfect race, a society of healthy and stereotypically "correct" people. What can we do to prevent a repeat of the horrors of World War II or Siberian exile? Maybe turn on yourself? After all, all the crimes of humanity are initially born in the consciousness of one or another individual. What determines this?
