Peteris Handke – Austrian writer, 2019 awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. The main themes of the author's work are the reality surrounding a person, the search for the boundaries of language and subjective truth. "Prophecy", like his other early dramas, was classified by the author as so-called language plays. There is no action, plot lines, scenography: all attention is focused on the word.
In the beginning there was a word - phonetics and rhythm were the first elements that caught the attention of the youngest generation director Justinus Vinciūnas. He was looking for ways to convey this text as music, to compose its rhythmic score. Finally, the question arose: where is the person?
The oldest generation of theater actors are looking for an answer to this question together with the director on stage: Algirdas Latėnas, Vidas Petkevičius, Saulius Sipaitis, Gediminas Storpiristis - the real greats of the theater scene, the generation that seems to be retiring from active life.
In the play, Handke's text is intertwined with authentic by actors' observations, life situations, and this speaks of the search for a person's place and identity in the face of absurd reality. Handke's work offers the possibility of a reality beyond words. The very act of reading also saves us from the game of forms: the reader encounters a mysterious form whose meaning he does not know, but only by articulating it can he try to discover the content. In this way, by resisting the inner knowledge or its impression, we enter the invisible reality of the text. It is a reality that arose before concepts. Therefore, "Prophecy" can resonate with those who are accompanied by a feeling of uncertainty of reality. Although this play is small, it is still a consolation, telling about the truth hiding somewhere beyond, - says director Justinas Vinciūnas.
Premiere: 2024 October 29.
