Event description

The State Vilnius Small Theater (VVMT), in cooperation with VšĮ "Darbininkai", invites the audience to the premiere of "Unfaithful" by Naubert Jasinskas, a young generation theater director and creator of audiovisual experiences. "Bergman and the Vilnius Small Theater have a common aesthetic sense, where creative connections can be made," says N. Jasinskas. He creates the performance as a visual poetic narrative based on the script of the famous Swedish modern filmmaker - Ingmar Bergman - which the director himself never managed to transfer to the cinema.

In "Unfaithful", I. Bergman examines the world of the artist, his conflicts, passions, searches, failures. Marianė is an actress whose husband is a famous conductor. They have a daughter, Izabela, and it's a beautiful, harmonious family. However, the woman falls in love with a family friend - a theater and film director who is not very successful. This move of hers turns into a terrible disaster for the family.

"It is very important to emphasize that I do not agree with I. Bergman. I disagree with his ideology, but I am very interested in how he paints a picture of a dysfunctional family. This director was indeed a genius of undoubted talent, who at the same time has a terrible complex of qualities, but creates very interesting scenarios that are worth talking about", N. Jasinskas is convinced. He claims that the play is primarily about the perspective of love and infidelity: "I. Bergman divides infidelity into physical and spiritual. He was the first to consider spiritual infidelity as more significant in cinema. I believe that the reason for the sadness of many people today lies in the "sealed" instructions of culture and religion on how we should live. These are so deeply imprinted that we can no longer look at them differently, which is why it is interesting to explore the duality of the heroine's choices."

Why do we deny our lust when it is unrelenting? How and why is the inability to express one's needs born in a person? What happens when we don't speak, ignore and silence the truth?
