Klaipėdos jaunimo teatras | Vasaros diena (rež. P. Pinigis) | VILNIUS

SUMMER DAY

Two people meet in a remote area of ​​the city. For one, everything is not going well - he has nothing, he is not happy with anything, and he no longer sees the point in living on such a hill of tears. That's why he came to the outskirts of the city - to end his suffering and make an end for himself. The person you meet unexpectedly here looks completely different. He is successful, he has everything he dreamed of, but he also sees no reason to continue living. Both of them have something to complain about, but are they ready to change something?

The comedy of the absurd solves the equation of the meaning of life comically and musically. While the angels send signs of hope to the heroes, the mystical figure of death also does his work. It is a summer day, where neither dances, nor songs, nor absurd situations prevent solving the most complex questions of existence. Different life scenarios brought the heroes of the performance to the same point - in it they search for beauty and hope to live together.
