"Ask every passenger to tell the story of his life, and if there is at least one who has not often cursed his life, or who has not constantly told himself that he is the most unhappy man, throw me headlong into the sea!"The play will touch on the painful collision of the young generation's ambitions, idealism and youthful maximalism with reality, where subsistence, survival and coexistence take away the time for the realization of dreams, and later, the desire. Optimistically raised to be special, conquer the world and pursue your dreams, because "everything is possible", in the real "market of life" we discover that we have to do things, not dreams, to survive in the world, not to fix it.In the play, optimism manifests itself as a bad faith that the world is good, strictly determined, in which we can only blame our own stupidity, too little effort, etc. for our failures. The static characters of Voltaire's short story aim to demonstrate the crisis of values and faith. The latter crisis, which originated in the Age of Enlightenment, can be seen in a slightly different form in today's Lithuania, in the world. Human values and qualities - affected by various technologies, media-driven consumption desires - begin to be evaluated differently: naivety becomes sexual, friendliness - a commodity delivered to the home, indulgence - boredom, people's indifference - the norm. This topic of value change is relevant not only in the relationship between different generations in Lithuania, but also in the world. This forces us to return to elementary considerations about value creation, change, globality, and the myths surrounding them. Voltaire's philosophical short story - although it takes you back to ancient times - but due to the perspective of ideas and considerations, it becomes extremely relevant for modern people. In the production of Teatrono troupe, Candide's unyielding eyes look at these painful topics through the prism of comedy.
