Composer Zita Bružaitė calls this performance "an opera for children and a musical journey" for adults. The new musical stage piece "Gulliver's Travels" is based on the motifs of Jonathan Swift's satirical novel, based on the poetic text of the poet and playwright Daiva Čepauskaitė. It was important for the composer to emphasize the meaning of the journey in the piece - it has several lines: adventure, era/style and light allusions to geographical trajectories - England and non-England.
In this opera for children, we hear the already recognizable musical language of Z. Bružaitė, in which she easily combines and juxtaposes moderate modernism with elements of jazz, baroque or folklore.
According to the composer, the opera "Gulliver's Travels" is not limited to a children's audience - rather, it is her own child's view of the world around us. In the opera, as in J. Swift's literary text, several layers fit perfectly: beside the playful juxtaposition of the small and the big world, life questions are also raised, to which both children and adults are looking for answers. Z. Bružaitė says that the line of travel is particularly important in the opera: "A person, feeling happy and having everything at home, still strives to travel, get to know, discover. The question arises, what motives lead us to do this?". Each person must travel his own journey, making his own mistakes and raising his own questions - this is how children and adults alike live. What else - adventure, knowledge, discoveries. Gulliver's Travels is about that.
