A press conference or the Last Supper?
A long table covered with a white tablecloth, rows of chairs, glasses, bottles... charismatic actors close to the audience and to each other... and gradual descent deep into the human soul, resembling a reality – show. Are we assisting a press conference or a funeral feast?
The master of theatrical form, director Oskaras Koršunovas, winner of the European prize New Reality, created a theatrical production swarming with symbols and original scenic metaphors. The original text is just the starting point for questioning the meaning of the human existence, solidarity, ability to listen, to understand other's feelings, to be compassionate and to participate in other people's destinies. The original text is being reinterpreted in accordance with contemporary experiences and sensibility.
