- And what is a wedding?
- When a bachelor brings a virgin to his house?
- Is that what you're bringing?
- Don't you see, youfairy of the forest? I'm not pretty.
Says Hunchback, a hunchbacked bachelor who always keeps to himself. His hump is his shame, but his kindness, sincerity and creativity, with the help of the fairies of the forest, make his hard lot easier.
This is a play about love, which is the most important thing in life and which no money can buy. "There is always something in the way of love, for all sorts of reasons: parents, distance, circumstances", says Jonas Gaižauskas, the director of the play.
Based on Lithuanian folk tales, the interactive performance tells a beautiful and sensitive story about the effort and responsibility it takes to overcome obstacles, to preserve beautiful feelings and love, about the fact that only you can shake off the "hump" symbolising our complexes and mistrust, about the fact that you have to make a choice yourself - what is more important - gold or love?
In life, external luxurious beauty and splendour mean nothing. But when a person does good deeds, he becomes beautiful and his external flaws become invisible. And when you do good to others, those around you will turn to you, reach out their hand and magically things will change.
How old were you when you first fell in love?
The play is for young audiences who have experienced the importance of this beautiful feeling that requires courage.
