“THE DREAM OF A RIDICULOUS MAN”(Great Britain,THE PLAYGROUND THEATRE), in English

The hero of this story lives suspended between two worlds – the harsh reality surrounding him and the dream of an ideal world glimpsed in a vision. In our performance, these two realms are brought to life by two great artists: F. M. Dostoevsky and M. K. Čiurlionis. The “Pyramid Sonata” and “Portraits” cycles, along with the symphonic poem Forest, merge with the creative energy of our team – actor Peter Tate, artist Jūratė  Račinskaitė, and the script, lighting, and direction of Saulius Varnas. Today, Dostoevsky’s short story feels more relevant than ever. Throughout centuries of wars and disasters, humanity has clung to a vision of an ideal society – a longing for a lost paradise that still resonates within us. This journey through the labyrinths of Dostoevsky’s texts, brought to life by the exceptional talent of Peter Tate – widely known in the worlds of theatre and cinema – invites audiences to not just watch, but participate in a profound encounter with hope, loss, and the eternal human search for meaning.
