Jurgis Kunčinas' novel "Tūla" is a work of Lithuanian literature, where the panorama of the late Soviet era is revealed against the backdrop of an unfulfilled love story, longing and the passage of time.
A young man's search for himself is confronted with a false reality. What is still real? Love... but it is fragile and timid, completely incapable of existing in the real world - the luminous Tula.
The news of the death of his beloved shocks the protagonist of the play, provoking memories and a desire to uncover the mystery of the main character, Toula.
The musical key to the unfolding of this story is the minimalist, authentic sound that complements the plot. The scenery of an unadorned life picture, a window, like a screen, where frames of memories scroll by and the jingle of rusty metal pipes reaches from the subconscious...
"Tūla is a play about a time whose echoes still haunt many, frightening them, and only irony makes it possible to look at the past carefully and unsentimentally. This confrontation with the past forces one to be constantly ready for confession.
Directed by Albertas Vidžiūnas. It is a great gift and responsibility to create Jurgis Kunčinas' "Tūla".
