The short story "Nebylys" (1930) is called a novel by the author himself, written at the end of his life, and is classified among the "dark" works of Vaižgant. Even love for both mother and woman goes hand in hand with Satanism, until the archaic rural idyll is torn apart by diabolical passions through the "Easter sin". The story is very life-like, but the problems (love, sin, choice and being) solved are equal to the masterpieces of great literature. Therefore, one should not expect a banal love triangle in the play either, the creative group's decisions do not promise the viewer a rustic domesticity. Maestro Jonas Vaitkus himself calls the performance a two-part impression based on Juozas Tumas-Vaižgantas.

Jonas Vaitkus - theater and film director, theater pedagogue, laureate of the Lithuanian National Culture and Art Prize and three times the "Golden Stage Cross". One of the most famous Lithuanian directors, Jonas Vaitkus, made his debut at the Šiauliai State Drama Theater with Zorair Chalapian's "Lopšine" (1974), and exactly four decades later he returned to Šiauliai with Juoz Tumos-Vaižgant's "Nebylius".

On the stage of Šiauliai Drama Theater, director Jonas Vaitkus raises the curtain on "the tragedy of the males, which unexpectedly moved the Puzionis and made their name widely famous" (Juozas Tumas-Vaižgantas).
