The works used in the performance translated from the old Greek language: Plato's "feast" and "Socrates" (translated by Merkel Račkauskas), "State" (translated by Jonas Dumčius) , "Gorgija" (translated by Tatyana Alekniene), as well as fragments of Xenophonto "Memoirs of Socrates" (translated by Vanda Kazanskienė), Aristophan's "Frog" (translated by Antanas Dambrauskas). In 2019, Motiejus Ivanauskas won the LNDT Young Creators Platform Competition. His proposed theater for the theater - to raise the "dialogues" written on the stage (the idea of ​​Plato's teacher, Socrates) - was worth further development for the commission. Who testifies that the "golden mean" is often important in life. In other words, the balance between the two opposite poles. This applies to both psychology, politics and the structure of a new performance. The "Dialogue" is attracted to the fact that Socrates 'teachings seem to be obviously calling for "eternal values"-wisdom, moderation, willpower-but at the same time, a "free" antique Greek atmosphere, Ironical Socrates' attitude towards themselves, interlocutors and interlocutors to the reflections offered by themselves. This is immediately favorable because Socrates does not consider himself an omniscient, but simply raises certain problems that are then obvious to everyone. ” Straight used to say what they thought about them and their actions, and based their reasoning on a strong argument so that the interlocutors were often disappointed because they realized that they could no longer object. Still, Motiejus Ivanauskas says that now he really does not want to create an instructive piece using Socrates' wisdom as a benchmark for the truth (Socrates himself would probably not say, "I know I don't know anything"). The principle seems much more influential when episodes are simply released to "glide" among viewers, leaving the opportunity to laugh, contradict, perhaps to agree.

The form of "dialogues" is particularly convenient in the theater. As I know, Socrates, while talking to people, asked the exact questions that he took to the interlocutor to see that he was contradictory and had to recognize the former wrong. A little archaic manner of these dialogues may sound exotic, but it gives you the opportunity to see the comic side of Socrates' talk. Clouds ".
