"What's all this about?" - about people, the passing of time, death, and shifts in time. This theatrical performance is composed of poems by G. Grajauskas and other famous Lithuanian poets and musical interludes of live music. Poems here turn into personal stories of the actors, glimpses into the fragments and halftones of our own lives: everyday life, gentle loneliness, decay, fragility, chaotic shamanism, childishness, philosophical contemplation, etc.
The language of poetry on stage allows you to express an idea in a very concentrated, refined way, using few words. There is nothing superfluous here. Modern poetry close to everyday speech merges with the stories told by the actors to form a single work, in which the viewer does not see a clear distinction between the beginning or the end of the stories, poems. This way of reading verses attracts the viewer who is usually not interested in poetry and breaks the stereotypical image of a poetic evening. The program has a lot of comedy, satire, personal connection with the audience and music. The work is intended for adults and youth from 16 years of age.
