The play "Demons" by contemporary Swedish playwright Lars Norén is ruthlessly frank and with a good dose of absurd humor. The action takes place in a perfectly furnished apartment. In the scene, four people in their thirties are two married couples living in the same apartment building. Behind the prosperous facade of well-to-do families is a slow and inevitable catastrophe that happens every day. It is not for nothing that L. Norén is often juxtaposed with Strindberg - his "Demons" is about the same human paradox: the ability (and even a secret inner desire) to make the life of another, close and maybe even loved one, hell.

The director of the play, Darius Rabašauskas: "This is not a traditional play about relationships. Marriage here is just a circumstance, a situation. Important, but not the only possible. Therefore, the performance will be more about instincts, inner strength: ruling, creating and destroying. It is about the power, about the demon. And if a demon needs a person as a creative being to function, then the power of beginning or ending lies precisely in a person. We are trying to talk about the hunger of sensation, the more and more numbing sensations that require more and more extreme experiences. About the search for an ever sharper sensation, an ever sharper stimulus that would allow you to feel life, to feel that you are alive. The need for ever sharper stimulus and ever hungrier individuals. It is hunger, the state of hunger that determines the supremacy and dominance of instinct. Because the characters don't explain anything. "I want", "desire", "desire" dominate. This state of hunger is the initial situation, we live in it, and the performance resists it. Extremity here is achieved through another person, his torture. And myself at the same time. Pain is the truest sign of life. When it hurts, you feel it."
