The choice to stage such a performance was guided by a clear feeling that disability is still an invisible category of society, which needs to be understood by bringing both the theater and the audience closer to disability itself, looking at its essence, observing what the disabled themselves think about disability as a phenomenon. The creators of the show aim to expose the concept of normality and raise the question of the possible variety of human existence, the variety of sensations and experiences.
Official statistics state that disabled people in Lithuania make up about 9% of the total population, that is, almost every tenth resident, but the majority of non-disabled persons boldly state during the survey that there are no disabled persons in Lithuania at all. In Lithuania, disabled people are still separated, without thinking that their subculture could contribute to the cultivation of an alternative, synesthetic or otherwise special existential worldview. For example, people with hearing or visual disabilities have developed excellent tactile abilities, but their worldview is usually isolated by seeing only negative characteristics, so they are often forced to develop the same knowledge of the world as those without disabilities, although they could have a different, otherwise richer one. Finally, the question is how many "abled" people have disabilities, why is it so difficult to accept aspects of our body or personality, and what can we learn from the realization that we are different: diverse, strange, tragic, sometimes funny? The title of the play "Celebration" contains the reference that the audience is invited to a celebration of existence and diversity, a party of being who you are.
People with various disabilities - physical, mental, mental, sensory - play in the play, they were collected and assembled by the theater for the disabled "New Theater", and the dramaturgy is created as a documentary from their sharing, stories, discussions held with the creative team.
The performance is financed by the Lithuanian Council of Culture.
