"This is a surreal performance of images and visuals about the world-labyrinth of the human soul and internal cracks, asking the questions, who is a person and who is God?" - director Artūras Areima.
The upcoming performance "Hour of the Lynx" based on Per Olov Enquist's play of the same name is a reflection of existing/absent being. An ironic mental and cultural labyrinth. This is a study of human identity and the surrounding moral, religious, political, mythical, informational and cultural environment of humanity - a crack.
With the show, the creators will raise questions: is what we think we know, and what is instilled in us from early childhood, always true? Aren't our own attitudes destroying humanity? Are things always as they seem? Is it easy to say: this is unacceptable, wrong, inhumane? The director, together with the creative team, will try to reveal all these topics very sensitively and subtly: human self-analysis, empathy, human progress, knowing oneself and others, prejudging others and oneself, strange, unexpected love. Being together when you can no longer be apart. About understanding each other and the elastic ties that bind us together.
The play explores whether the world of imagination can be as real, or maybe even more real, than reality, the price of prejudices and the importance of looking at people with sensitivity and humanity.
