A feast of classic theater from Lithuania
Print Edition
The State Small Theatre of Vilnius from Lithuania is serving up a feast of classic theater to satiate Shanghai鈥檚 hungry thespian lovers of art.
Productions of Ingmar Bergman鈥檚 鈥淎 Spiritual Matter,鈥 Mikhail Lermontov鈥檚 鈥淭he Masquerade鈥 and Anton Checkov鈥檚 鈥淭he Three Sisters鈥 will provide the city鈥檚 audience with a banquet of drama.
鈥淎 Spiritual Matter,鈥 based on a script by famous Swedish director and writer Bergman, follows Victoria, a strong woman struggling with her life, who is being tortured by unfulfilled dreams, while seeking self-acceptance.
The script involves imaginary conversations Victoria has with her husband and friends, as well as her maid, father, a stranger she meets, and finally with herself. It provides an uncompromising and deep insight into the soul of an exhausted middle-aged woman.
Rimas Tuminas, one of the most outstanding Lithuanian directors, produces 鈥淭he Masquerade.鈥 His version is regarded as one of the most successful interpretations of Lermontov鈥檚 romantic play.
Tuminas has used the theme Romanticism in his production and connected it with commedia dell鈥檃rte. The elements of this genre turn an alluring view into a strange tragicomedy.
Awe-inspiring visuals, strong feelings and a nostalgic festive atmosphere distinguish Chekhov鈥檚 鈥淭he Three Sisters.鈥 The classic play is also interpreted by Tuminas. It follows the unfulfilled lives of three young women. The director also shares his surprising inventiveness and imagination, paradoxical and unexpectedly stylistic sets.
