After wandering from the myth of the ship-sinking monsters Scylla and Charybdis, the girl Scylla feels as if she is stuck in the "mountain pose". However, she no longer wants to be just a motionless rock with only one, albeit powerful, function - to attack and destroy.

Scile begins traditionally, with a visit to a life teacher (the so-called "couchera" ) the witch Kirke. Odysseus, who once almost successfully sailed "between Scylla and Charybdis", and the "storyteller" Homer also taught us how to live. But will this be enough for Scylla, who also embodies other mythic women?

The play "Mountain Pose" seems to speak in the voices of ancient heroes, but fiction is quickly intertwined with reality, history with today, Greek mythology with Lithuanian history (or the mythology of this history). The well-known female characters in the work also become important, which encourages us to return to the old texts with a new look, to discuss them from a new perspective.

Director Gabrielė Tuminaitė continues the creative dialogue with P. Pukyte. and presents a performance in an interesting and highly engaging form. By its nature, the work prevents boredom, makes you think from different perspectives - from the point of view of the content, it seems that easy work is also an intelligent, impressive game. Using absurdity and satire, the piece talks about the relationship between people as "brainwashing" each other.
