Event description

Yana Ross, who has rarely performed in Lithuania lately and who is finishing her tenure as director of Schauspielhaus Zürich with seven other artists, will invite the audience to the premiere in September at LNDT's Small Hall.

For this new production, Yana Ross has chosen the essay "Reflecting on the Lobster" by the American writer David Foster Wallace (1962-2008), who fundamentally questions human nature. In his texts, Wallace tackles some of the most sensitive and uncomfortable issues of contemporary society: empathy, child-rearing, intimacy, miscommunication and the end of anthropocentrism.

"We hope to encourage viewers to rethink their own ethical and moral codes and values, and at the same time draw attention to the socially acceptable grey areas that we intend to question. Susan Sontag's important book "Regarding the Pain of Others" was also very helpful in the development of the play," says Yana Ross.

"I confess that I have never understood why so many people associate a fun holiday with flip-flops over the toe and sunglasses, which require you to squeeze through crazy traffic jams to bustling, hot, crowded tourist spots in order to sample the 'local delicacies', even though the very spectacle of the tourist show essentially defeats the whole concept. For me, to be a mass tourist is to become the purest American of today - an ignorant stranger, greedy for what he cannot have and frustrated by what he cannot admit to himself", writes D.F. Wallace.
