Itaru Sasaki from Otsuchi, Japan learned that his beloved cousin had cancer and only three months to live. After his cousin's death, Sasaki set up an old phone booth in his backyard so that he could communicate with the deceased every day and his words would be carried away by the wind.

2011. A tsunami occurred in the vicinity of Otsuchi, killing 10 percent of the population. city ​​residents. Gradually, people found out about the phone booth and started visiting Itaru Sasaki Garden to call their lost loved ones.

From 2022. on March 1, just a week after Russia started the war in Ukraine, an old payphone, identical to the "wind phone" that stood in Japan, was placed near the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theater. People were invited to stop by and "call" those who didn't get to say what they wanted to say in time, and now it's too late. In more than 6 months, the phone was picked up about 4000 times. The audio recordings of all the authentic stories became the basis of the opera libretto.

The payphone opera "Things I didn't dare to say, and now it's too late" is a sensitive, delicate story about a person who mourns, at the same time it is a transparent cut through the geographical territories opened by grief, a journey to meeting, reconciliation, experiencing the world as a whole.

Creators about the performance:

Taxophone opera is a poem about human transience. Delicate, human and sometimes witty images are created on the stage from here and there: bodies and objects appear here and disappear in the light and dark. Everything passes - people, time, places, things, events.

Director and playwright Kamilė Gudmonaitė

My relationship with the work, or rather with the recordings of passers-by's "calls" left on the payphone that make it up, constantly changed. At each stage of the long creative process, I discovered a different perspective on what everyone was saying in the payphone booth. At first, as if listening to very open statements from the sidelines, I now reconsider them by standing in the place of the callers or their addressees. This opera posed considerable challenges: how to create the inner sound image of each of us, how to transfer the often extremely sensitive, delicate content of the calls - the sacred being - to the theater stage? Music, sound here becomes an invisible medium, a radiating energy that tells what we didn't dare to say, and now it's too late.

Composer Dominykas Digimas

The scenery of this work is an intermediate space, like a reflection of the inner world, a meeting where a relationship with the other side is felt. The action takes place in a transitive space highlighting border states, where everyday life is intertwined with temporality and uncertainty. The visual atmosphere of the piece is dedicated to life and death, closeness and longing.
