"bowel" | rež. Naubertas Jasinskas
Performance in English with Lithuanian surtitles.
The gastrointestinal tract is an organ system within humans and other animals that takes in food, digests it to extract and absorb energy and nutrients and expels the remaining waste as feces. – It is a perfectly described never-ending circle of everything that people feel and do.
Upcoming performance concentrates on uniformity and monotony, it's formation and development. It analyzes and questions the very meaning of a great desire to live the way other lives. The taboo for otherness, in the last century, while Lithuania was occupied, has become the greatest trend of this century.
Creating bright yet boring shots of our lives - household, holidays, communication, self-care and improvement: how we eat, reduce the amount of hair in the eyebrows, think of others, wait for us to bend, and so on. It leads to the aim to create a strange, deep, visual comedy/melodrama, which will be constructed fragmentary, letting the audience not to emphasize as the theatre usually offers, but to consciously put a focus on the meanings constructed on the stage.
A story is made for young adults and it consists of three to four actors. The narrative is told in dozens of montage-bound scenes that speak of human vanity and a sense of fullness in it.
“What’s next?” – the author and director of the performance asks. And answers: “There is no answer”. And this contradiction is a starting point of the performance.
