The play "Good weather if you don't think too much" based on the play of the same name by Kristina Marija Kulinič takes on the ever more relevant topics of history, memory, historical trauma, guilt, and the Holocaust. Do we really learn and is it possible to learn from history? Only one thing is clear - only human nature does not change.

Two young people, history teacher Marija and soldier Julius, are stuck in an uncertain space reminiscent of the 21st century. Outdoor cafe in the old town of Vilnius. How did it get here, how did it live until then - a white spot. The only memory is the first date between the two... in the former Jewish ghetto. Sometimes they speak through the lips of dybukas (spirits incarnated into a living person in Jewish mythology), whose confessions lay a mosaic of the past, close lives. The picture becomes clearer, it is full of tragedies, traumas, losses, gray areas. There is no today here, only the past and the future, the characters are trying to understand who they are, what is their relationship with the present, which basically no longer exists.

never took real shape. Many people have probably thought about it, but we see different assumptions, and intuitions about what will happen next and what we can do are also often missed. It's interesting that when you step away from the news flow, go out into the street, sit down in a cozy cafe, it seems that the days go on as usual, nothing terrible happens: peace, sun, entertainment... I catch myself preferring to enjoy the beautiful weather and fantasize about my personal future, in which everything is miraculously solved". (Kristina Marija Kulinič)

But is the future real? Will we have the will, responsibility and common sense not to get stuck in another "history lesson"? What will our story be? How much power do we have to change it? Or maybe everything is already moving towards an inevitable catastrophe, the signs of which will be visible only in retrospect, only to those who will write (if they write) the story about us.

I don't think the world has ever been less cruel, less dangerous. .. he was, I would say... in many ways... much more deadly than he is now... Or just the same. All in all... when you averaged out the global brutality, it was probably just about the same. Of course, it doesn't matter who... It doesn't matter what you were born with.
