About performance:
One of the purest and latest productions by Eimuntas Nekrošius. The performance is based on Kafka’s text, however it is full of improvisations, filled with irony and has many details which reflects to Maestro’s life.
Аccording to Nekrošius, the best medicine against a creative crisis is love of work and irony against yourself.
PRESS:
Their voices are muffled yet they reach deep inside. The story itself is depressing but the talent of the creators lifts your spirit up.
Lietuvos Rytas, Lithuania
Viktorija Kuodytė, virtuosa and fearless, allows not a single false gesture. Her body bears no sentiments, and she treats it as a working tool. That’s body and soul in one.
