The performance of the actor Povilas Budris based on the novel "Exhibitions" by the South Korean writer Haïlji, presented for the first time in the Lithuanian theater. This novel can be called a detective on the nature of consciousness, depicting a strange world where illusions intertwine with reality. It is an opportunity to look at the relationship between the world and human consciousness in a different way, without prioritizing either reality or imagination. Only the illusion is the perfection of order, because reality often does not correspond to reality.

Haïlji (Haildži, real name Rim Jong Joo) is one of the most interesting contemporary South Korean writers, who has a special connection with Lithuania. He visited our country more than once, wrote the novel "Republic of Užupis", which was well received by readers. The author studied at Seoul University, then at the Universities of Poitiers and Limoges in France. Has published thirteen novels, short stories and two collections of poems. His novels have been made into films and plays. The novel "Shows" is the writer's second book published in Lithuanian (2016).

Haïlji says: "Life and death are one, to live is to die, and to die is to live." If you think that death is only a part of life, and life is only a part of death, you will understand that there is no need to be sad."
