VISKAS, KO NETURI || Rež. R. Kazlas

"A word. A pause—that's all. I have no more,
What can I say in words.
Only sky and sky, and both in silver
The ashen hair glows."
Poet Valdemars Kukul
1959–2011
"When the iron of pain cools,
Open your eyes to the color of heaven and earth -
Like an angel moving away from you,
You could see the golden head of age."

Poet Algirdas Verba,
Valdemar Kukul's friend
1941–2000
Rolandas Kazlas, the author and director of the staging of the play "Everything you don't have":

"One of the books of the poet and literary critic Valdemars Kukul, in which he reviews and reflects on Lithuanian poetry and literature, is called "The End of the Era of Great Words". When you delve into the poetry of Valdemar Kukul himself, his attitude in his work, the poet himself seems like a guardian of that era of great-spirited words, songs. The keeper, nurturer and creator of those words, as if a descendant of some extinct, noble civilization, a hero of those times when giants still lived, a hero who wandered into this age, who sang, painted, chanted and mourned it, us and the future us, this land and this world, this earth and this sky and brought him back to that Great Spirituality, which he so lacked, which he with such sought with devotion in this life, in his work, in this increasingly soulless time.
The performance "Everything you don't have" is, of course, intended first of all for fans of the poet Valdemars Kukulos and at the same time for all lovers of Lithuanian poetry, because this poet, who remained faithful to poetry until the end, is one of the most interesting, who gave his whole self to his work... When reading his poems, you just feel the painful, sweet voice of a lonely poet and man, which contains all human colors. In the poet's own words:
Poet's poems are essentially the main character and text of the play. I tried to listen, empathize with them: what states, moods can be felt, discovered in them. In the end, it was interesting to try to use stage means to give the lines such colors and shadows that you might not suspect just by reading the written words.
