OKT / Vilniaus miesto teatras: "Žuvėdra"(rež. Jokūbas Brazys)

WARNING! the actors smoke during the performance.

Anton Chekhov

The Seagull

Director - Jakūbas Brazys
Jakūbas Brazys' "The Seagull" is a performance that will return to your dreams. The young director managed to turn the classic play into a metaphysical dream that touches and changes the consciousness of all of us for a long time. It's an experiment that goes beyond the stage. That swamp involves us all and does not leave us alone to relive the drama of that family - and ourselves in it.
"The Seagull" was born from the creative experiments of one acting class. From the very beginning of the play, you willy-nilly feel like a member of a small group of young people, you blend in with that group, you get closer to them like a neighbor in a dormitory. What is special about this play is that the central character embodying all possible experiences is the entire cast, which acts as a giant engine of young energy, a medium in which the actions of one character ignite another. The whole performance is like on a swing: between complete merging with the naked (in the literal sense of the word) action on stage and distancing, retreating when speaking. And in the middle of that swing, there is silence, a deafening silence, which creates the impression that you are drowning in the atmosphere of a collective dream. A silence during which all that ball of energy approaches the audience and appears with all its mesmerizing power.
Although you are participating in a sensory experiment, you hear every word that Chekhov wrote and realize that this play is written for the present, that it is for you. You can feel the metaphysics of the "Seagull" text, the strength of which does not fade, just as the struggle between heated passions, the constant search for the source of love and creativity, does not fade either. What the play talked about about tearing passions, creative searches, changing times, future prophecies and fulfillments, the performance allows you to feel in the body. This director and his actors could not have chosen a better image that says goodbye to the past and welcomes the future.
Jakūb Brazys is a theater director of the young generation, a student of Oskar Koršunov, who has already created plays based on Moliere's play "The Misanthrope" and William Shakespeare's play " Macbeth". "The Seagull" is the director's third play. Jokūbas Brazys collaborated with several international festivals: "Face Theater Festival" in Budapest (Hungary), "Volta On Line" in Vilnius (Lithuania), "Theatre Olympics 2019" in Saint Petersburg (Russia). The young director worked as an assistant to his teacher Oskars Koršunovas (during the staging of Rimanta Kmita's "Remyga" at the Šiauliai State Drama Theater and William Shakespeare's "Othello" at OKT/Vilnius City Theatre). According to Oskars Koršunov, Jokūbas Brazys is already creating a unique theatrical language.

The project is partially financed by the Lithuanian Culture Council.
