(PERKELTAS) Eimunto Nekrošiaus spektaklis "Bado meistras"

"The Master of Hunger" is one of Franz Kafka's last short stories, which summarizes his entire work, ethical and aesthetic attitudes, and approach to life. This is the story of an Artist who is able to starve for incredibly long periods of time and attracts crowds of enthralled spectators. Unfortunately, times and the public's tastes change, and the unsurpassed Master of Hunger, although he reached the pinnacle of his art, dies alone, forgotten by everyone behind the scenes of the circus. Like all the works of the most famous Austrian writer of the 20th century, "The Master of Hunger" is a very personal, subjective story that reveals the most mysterious depths of the artist's own subconscious. the result of the short story. The director is extremely demanding in his work, just like Kafka himself, who is able to find and not miss a single meaningful thought, phrase, word, evocatively, openly, with theatrical means he immerses the actors in the very essence of the story and allows the viewer to not even understand, but to feel with all his soul what the creator is going through. in his glory hours, how he fights for his idea with viewers who don't understand him and an impresario who manipulates his work. Just like in the short story, Nekrošius' play contains a lot of self-irony, subtle, intellectual humor that makes everyone smile.

The main role of the Hunger Master is played by Viktorija Kuodytė, who has played in Nekrošius' performances since 1994 (Laura - "Mažosios Tragedies", Irina - "Three Sisters", Ophelia - "Hamlet", etc.). Vaidas Vilius, Vygandas Vadeiša and Genadijus Virkovskis help her and wittily create the characters of the artist's environment.

After the premiere of the play, the press wrote: p>If one had to single out the only theater event of the year, it would be Eimuntas Nekrošius's "The Master of Hunger" based on Franz Kafka's short story, shown at "Meno forte". Everything is in a low voice, but it stabs deeply: the content is suppressed, and the talent of the creators rises.

You feel crushed because you realize that a person who believed in the meaning of his life is "buried with his straw". But you are also happy that you experienced the performance.
