"WHEN YOU REALLY WANT TO LIVE, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW"

Text, direction and four characters played by Emilija Latėnaitė.

Participating in "Duettissimo" - Gleb Pyšniak (cello), Dalia Dėdinskaitė (violin)

Actress EMILIJA LATĖNAITĖ will embody four women from different eras, countries, and social classes – all searching for their true selves. Their stories reveal a timeless truth: the world may change, but the deepest questions of human existence remain the same. The performance features works by Tarquinio Merula, Alessandro Stradella, and original music performed live by the acclaimed duo “Duettissimo” – cellist GLEB PYŠNIAK and violinist DALIA DĖDINSKAITĖ. This is a luminous performance about longing for the other, and ultimately, about meeting oneself. It speaks to those moments when you deeply long to live, yet don’t know how. Here, there is no aim to dazzle with effects or form – instead, the power of acting and live sound weaves an atmosphere that resonates with sensitivity, inviting each audience member to reconnect with their long-forgotten self, to feel, and simply to be. The characters, though inspired by real historical figures, were never meant to be exact reconstructions. History here is not documentary, but a tool – a way of understanding that we are only particles in a vast continuum. It is so easy to lose oneself, to believe “I am only me.” But before us there were many, and after us there will be many more. What we leave behind matters. What is a human without history? Each of us holds a unique relationship with it – much like with God. That is why His presence is also felt here…
