F. Zeller's play is a certificate of loss of consciousness, its decline, gradual loss of memory, and thus the loss of the family, relatives, the connection to the outside world. For the main hero of the play, Andrė (Vytautas Anuzis) is 88 years old, with its age quite a bit, but the signs of a similar disease like Alzheimer. The disease progresses, it is inevitable. André gradually retreat from everyday life, details, perception of space, it turns into a plant, a "vegetable". Reality intertwines with images of the subconscious. Old age, sick consciousness and clear minds are struggling with each other. From here there is a conflict with reality, relatives, and in general with human existence, nature.
Andre is increasingly remembering her dead daughter, Eliza Orlova, who is alive in her father's consciousness, somewhere ... Eliza's character is associated with freedom, independence, and pervades all scenes. Hope is focused through the bright memory of her daughter, the thesis that art is more influential, more important than the household needed to control our instincts, inner predators, and feed. The question is also important in the performance: what does a person pay attention to the flow of life, what priorities they choose, how does he make sense of his life and exit from it?
Director Jonas Vaitkus: "There is an atavistic anthropophagia (human) dent, scratch, imprint, imprint ... that obstacle, test, test, one way or another, the most important and responsible moment of the road to become human. exposed to scientific achievements and freedom of freedom, we underestimate the dangers of the dormant man, the dangers of culture and art, which are an antidote.
In the performance, bright allusions and the importance of memory in the broadest sense. Cultural, historical, personal memory ... What do we tend to forget? What is uncomfortable, painful, traumatic experience? .. Probably. However, memory is unconsciously, as a life straw, resorts to bright things - to survive.
