Have you ever wondered how a play is born? Behind closed doors in the furthest recesses of the theater, actors repeating the text like mantras, the director's authoritative voice, magically stitching costumes and a thoughtful composer creating a soundtrack? Not at all.
Three actors, one playwright, one table and three chairs - welcome to the process of creating a play.
What does art come from? How is creation and death similar? What and how does the theater talk about? Critics on art portals, viewers in theater dressing rooms, directors in interviews for cultural programs say: about everything. And we are making a play about nothing.
Director Linus Jurkštas' performance based on his own play "About Nobody" is a comical, absurd and hooligan art show, turning the spotlight of self-irony on the creators themselves. From the first reading of the play to the day of the premiere, the audience accompanying the actors in one evening sees both the process of creating the play and the story of a young man trying to defeat Death, spiced with the Italian commedia dell'arte genre. The play "About Nothing" is the behind-the-scenes of creativity transferred to the stage, playful provocation and skillful balancing between nonsense and questions about existence.
