After a prophecy that Sigismund, Prince of Poland, the only heir to the throne, will bring disaster to his country and take the throne from his father, King Basil imprisons his son in a tower. Coming of age, Sigismund is released from the tower and learns his true origins. He is faced with a completely unfamiliar world, which in his eyes is just a dream. It brings out the prince's darkest desires, sparks his greed and passion to rule as he sees fit. But if it's all just a dream, do you have to be responsible for your actions?

Adventure, philosophy, revenge, the desire for honor, love and intrigue are interwoven in the play "Life is a Dream" by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, the most famous Spanish dramatist of the mature Baroque period. Interpreting this classic play, the creators of the play analyze the conflict between free will choices and fate, delve into the contradictions between existing and emerging reality, and examine questions of justice and wisdom.

Gediminas Rimeika, director:
"In the play 'Life is a dream', fundamental themes spread that have already become archetypes of our everyday life. This is the desire for honor, love, origin. Calderón portrays people burning with true passion and shows the paths they are willing to take in the name of their cause. In the performance, classical theater merges with avant-garde theater, thus giving the audience the opportunity to immerse themselves in a dream full of intrigue, love, hurt and revenge."
