"Anti" is a performance-storytelling based on the ancient play "Antigone" by Sophocles and personal experiences narrated by four actors.
The show is primarily intended for a young audience - people aged 14-24. The creators of "Anti" create a live encounter in a common space where the actors are not separated from the audience on a high stage platform, where some are not brightly lit by the theater spotlights and others are not drowned in darkness, some are not obliged to become characters and others are not forced to be silent and pretend that their not in the hall at all. Instead, both actors and audience get comfortable together on stage to tell and listen to stories together, talk, laugh, act, play computer games, ask important questions and seek honest answers.
The actors of the performance improvise and tell stories, independently manage the modern music and lighting of the performance, create a real festive party on the stage of the theater, to which they invite the audience in order to destroy the stereotypical view of the theater, myths, ancient art, and classical literature together.
What if ANTI's play about Antigone might be interesting? What if it could not be about ancient Greece, but about us, young people living in Lithuania today? What if theater could be lively, fun, without overwrought, artificial acting? What if there are really good texts in the Lithuanian program literature list? What if two hours on stage together with the actors could pass quickly, stress-free, interesting and fun, and maybe even delicious?
