Die Möwe

A guest performance as part of the 16th Stuttgart European Theater Meeting.

Oskaras Koršunovas Theater (Vilnius, Lithuania) | Production: Jakub Brazis
In Lithuanian language with German surtitles

With this production, the young director Jakub Brazis succeeds in turning the classic play into a metaphysical dream that touches and even changes the collective and individual consciousness. An experiment that goes beyond the stage. The action on stage swings back and forth: as if on a seesaw between complete fusion with the naked (in the truest sense of the word) action on stage and detachment and withdrawal when speaking. And in the midst of this swing there is silence, a shrill silence that gives the impression of sinking into the atmosphere of a collective dream. A play for the present, a play about torn passions, creative searches, changing times and future prophecies.
