The latest premiere of Colours of Bubbles by Aleksandras Špilevoyas and one of the best Lithuanian rock bands, Colours of Bubbles, at the Juozas Miltinis Drama Theatre is inspired by the director's and the musicians' love for Quentin Tarantino's work. During his interest in the artist, Spilevoy learned that one of his favourite films, The Hateful Eight, was in jeopardy when its script was leaked. It was decided to cancel filming, but to make sure the work was not wasted, readings were held in a Los Angeles theatre. After a very positive response, the artist decided to make a few changes and return to making the film. However, the experience in the theatre infected the director with the idea of one day making a play. "After learning about this story, I realised that I would love to see such a play in the theatre. As I am not sure if Q. Tarantino would ever realise this idea, so I decided to create the play myself," laughs Spilevoy.

In adapting the script to Lithuania, the director and the playwright had to do a lot of work on the text: they had to tighten everything up so that there were no unnecessary scenes, no unnecessary characters, no unnecessary changes in space, and they had to look for a way to make it meaningful and interesting to the Lithuanian audience of today. "The film is about the American Civil War, because not all viewers are familiar with the events of the 19th century in the USA, so it was necessary to adapt and change this, to create a new character who addresses the audience and creates new meanings in his monologues, which were not in the film. So I wrote a play inspired by Q. Tarantino. In this material, together with the actors, we discover not America or the 19th century, but ourselves, our time, our country, our problems, our issues, our unfulfilled hopes. "St. Speig is no longer Q. Tarantino's film, it is a story we are creating about Man. Q. Tarantino set himself the task of creating a tragicomic story without a single positive character. I don't want to say that all people on Earth are bad, but it must be admitted that we are far from being saints, and that is why in this play we will see sinful humanity colliding with the brightest ideas of humanism, love and freedom. I wonder who will prevail in the end?", says the director, who claims that this play is the most complex he has ever created. It is set in three layers: in the present tense, with the rock band Colours of Bubbles playing live, with the characters acting as 19th-century Americans, and with a time-wandering historical intermediary.
