VMT spektaklis | DĖDĖS IR DĖDIENĖS

A one-part performance that has become a classic of the VMT repertoire

According to J. Tumos-Vaižgant, uncles and aunts mean not so much a kinship relationship, but a social relationship between the owners who inherited the farm and the "uncles" who stayed here to work and toil, whose position is something intermediate between a servant, a mercenary and a family member, only more difficult than a mercenary, because they work without reward, usually for "a meal and a little clothing".

Director Gabrielės In Tuminaitė's staging, exactly such "uncles" and "aunties" are depicted: Mykoliukas, Severiutė and Rapolas. The characters created by the masterful hand of the writer, even though they are placed in the harsh conditions of a slave village, are able to deeply feel, observe and understand themselves, experience the highest moments of being.

For those who are tired of the endless flow of information, in the performance, the audience is invited to rest their spirits, which, according to the director, is the advantage of classical works. It does not aim to shock, as is often typical of contemporary works, so the work becomes as if running away from the surrounding noise and chaos. It's like sitting on a bench and sitting by the Lithuanian lagoon until the morning, observing a simple but beautiful view, taking your time and breathing deeply.

"This is the story of each of us, we are all Mykoliuks and Severuets. We lose, let go of happiness, and we don't know who is to blame for it. The story of Mykoliuk and Severiutė is not only a vision of love. It is the moment when a dream is created out of pain and loneliness, when the world breaks because life is too strong and all that remains is the daily duty of living. Only that one dream saves. This piece reminded us, the creative group, of our dreams, and we share them with the audience," says director Gabrielė Tuminaitė.
