"Theatre is a powerful art form, it teaches life, sociability, emotionality, and most importantly, self." - Anastasia Roberts
What I found most beautiful about theatre as a child, and still today, is the fairy tale that is created and begins as soon as you open the theatre door: the smell, the audience, the words, the music, the lights, the emotions. Every performance is like a miracle - it is there, then it is gone, but it touches everyone in a different way, and the way you enter this world of fairy tales is the way you never leave.
I have loved the theatre and going to the theatre since I was a child, and it was even more fun to put on theatre performances for my family. This is how my beloved domestic character was born: a witty little woman (Jazmina Zirzilinskaitė), who was spotted by the director Šarūnas Kunickas during an event and invited to the Utena Chamber Theatre.
In theatre, I realised that in life, we are often actors, but unlike actors in theatre, we don't even know we are acting. It's natural. Life helps you to act and acting helps you to live.
P.S Sometimes, when I have to do something I don't want to do in life, I imagine that this is the role I have to play. That's why I think acting is not a profession, it's a diagnosis.
