“When you look at the dark for a long time, it starts to reveal contours.”

The performance is a man’s inner journey, a confrontation with his deepest darkness. It’s an encounter with a force that draws you in, making it very difficult, sometimes even impossible, to break free. However, if you dare to face it, the darkness can become recognizable. Then, the outlines of concrete feelings and emotions emerge, allowing them to be named, accepted, released, or simply allowed to be. While the darkness may not disappear, you can always find something to help you endure it, to survive, to move forward, and to balance it with light. That something is your own body— your beautiful body that can dance. Ultimately, the desire to live is driven by the desire to act.

Klaipeda Puppet Theatre is one of the youngest up-and-coming puppet theatres in Lithuania, constantly in search of new means of theatrical expression in the language of puppetry. It is a contemporary, refined, representative theatre that is interesting for both children and the adult viewers. Theatre experts name Klaipeda Puppet Theatre as one of the strongest, most ambitious puppet theaters in our country. By performing regularly for children, organising various educational projects, our theatre fills an important niche in Klaipeda – it brings theatre to the young, as well as adult, audiences.
