Opis wydarzenia

 "The Golden Apple Tree, the Well of Wine" is one of the most beautiful and popular Lithuanian fairy tales. It is a magical story about an orphan girl oppressed by her stepmother. As in every fairy tale of this kind, it is full of evil obstacles: a wicked witch and her daughters torture the girl with impossible tasks, but goodness, with the help of miraculous forces, eventually wins and the Orphan is freed at the end of the tale by a young King.

What impresses the creators of this production is the possibility of using forms of video theatre that belong more to the art of cinema than to theatre. Although the tale contains a number of folk songs and rhymes, the narrative is more visual. The audience will see a variety of visual theatre devices that have been popular since ancient Greece, such as panoramas, myrioramas, diaoramas, thaumatrope, laterna magica, myriorama cards, and shadow theatre.

"I first staged this fairy tale at the Theatre Initiatives, a society for lovers of the stage (premiere 18 December 1997). Then I also designed the set. Dainius Vengelis, the actor of Vilnius Senamiesčio Theatre, who played this mono-performance with marionettes, was graduating from the Master's degree programme of the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre in 2009, and was working on his graduation play based on this performance (set designer Neringa Keršulytė). Returning to this fairy tale in Puppet, I drew on a collection of spectacles and optical metamorphoses used by puppeteers centuries ago (mechanical theatre, diorama, miriorama, moire, Jacob's Ladder, Laterna magica, etc.). These forms of spectacle are today attributed to the origin story of cinematography." (dir. R. Driežis)
