Theatre, it's like a woman that attracts me. Both theatre and women are unpredictable, but at the same time interesting.
If you ask me if I know what theatre is? I would say that I am always trying to know it. I think that people's lives are theatre. You live and you act. Only some people get good roles, and some people get a role and they don't live with it.
When I was a kid, my brothers and I used to share roles and we used to create our own children's theatre. In the pioneer camps, I acted in the interludes staged by the leaders, and at school - in the theatre group created by teacher Eitmanavičius. I remember there I had to play Raikin, who knew how to raise children and how to skin them like Sidorov's goat. Growing up, my mother took me to the Žaliaduonių Theatre in the play Žaliaduonių gegužė (Žaliaduonių gegužė) directed by Alma Eigertienė, and I remember the role of Jonas, the master of the hump. In the town of Daugailių, where I live, I acted in several plays directed by Daugailių theatre director Jūratė Paliuliulė.
So, the theatre is always close. And I was invited to the Utena Chamber Theatre by Šarūnas Kunickas, the director and manager of the theatre. Just like in life, I try to empathise with the role and play it as well as possible. And to get to know more and more about both the theatre and myself.
