The play "Urtė" is a gift to the theatre and writer I. Simonaitytė. The interesting directorial decision, the thoughtful, metaphorical, exceptional set design, the musical soundtrack, the acting of the actors, the stage costumes create the feeling that this story is real, that it works here and now. The viewer is transported back in time to the life of Simonaitytė's characters and together with Urte experiences love, fear and hatred.
, "For the lucky one, time is unlimited, the lucky one doesn't count the hours. And who is happy? Happy is the one who is drowned in the depths by the great waves of love that cannot be expressed in words," wrote Ieva Simonaitytė, the chronicler of the history of Lithuania Minor, in her novel "The Fate of Aukštieji Šimoniai".
