TEAR – our first performance premiered at Meno erdvės Vileišio18 in autumn 2023 & spring 2024.

In our performance, Ukranian, Lithuanian and Persian artists come together for a unique co-creation about love and war, hope and despair, life and hate, fear and laughter. We co-exist and co-create for one goal; because the war is against all of us, and we all want to live!

A world of turmoil and confusion hides behind this small word. We cry of joy, pain, laughter, anger. Emotions tear us apart, one tear at a time. In this world every action, however small, creates a new turn to the story, another emotion is shown through. Because such are the times: war, displacement, migration, and everlasting passion for life and death that blooms in strong feelings of love and hate.

We live through the stories of three different people and just one day (it is always today, always the present moment), when each of them makes a decision that is too big, too abrupt, too drastic.

This devised theater performance is made by a team of Ukrainian and Lithuanian theatre creators.
