In the center of the monoplay is a young girl Elena, who for the first time in her life has to make an important, but unexpected and difficult decision. The dramaturgy of the performance created by Dovilė Katiliūtė is based on real stories of women who have faced unplanned pregnancy or abortion. What to choose? Abortion or childbirth without any support? The search for being is revealed in the performance - how to be? How to live with your choice? What does being mean to us? Are we really?
It is impossible not to be. - where do we put the comma? The final part of the performance is the "I am" photo exhibition of people who have faced an unplanned pregnancy or abortion, which will be accompanied by their real stories. The documentary exhibition is intended to reveal the real thoughts of this phenomenon in today's Lithuania. After the performance, the audience will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in living, extremely sensitive and real testimonies who will transfer the fiction of the theater to reality by reminding us that the theater is just a lie about the truth, and in life we ourselves are the directors.
Director L. Krivickaitė - "The play is full of ambiguity, witty situations and misunderstandings, people often avoid talking openly about difficult topics. The prevailing upbeat mood, comical situations and humor in the play are like a natural means of protection for the main character. Instead of moralizing or gaslighting the problem, we present it as a natural, man-made phenomenon that began with the advent of human birth control. Unplanned pregnancy or the phenomenon of abortion are seemingly very dark topics, but if you choose the right way of knowing, this story is told by educating the viewer, encouraging him to rethink his origin and purpose in this world. Human pain often forces us to look back at essential values, so there is a lot of love and light in the play, and choosing to be or not is a personal matter for everyone." It is impossible not to be. - where do we put the comma?
