I wanted to be Britney, Whitney & JLo is a monologue about femininity, fantasies and gender. A young man visits his parents for family dinner but ends up locking himself in the bathroom when the attacks on his life and sexuality become to intensive. In there he looks back on his life and upbringing, turning to pop divas for comfort and understanding. In a sensitive, rhythmic manner the play walks us through a coming of age story with all it’s highs and lows. A celebration and recognition of the female role models so many of us 90s kids share I wanted to be Britney, Whitney & JLo is ultimately a story about survival.

It is a play about four women of different generations, who are wandering in their memories and trying to renovate rooms. Everyone of them has unfinished business with the past, hopes to change and start things anew. “Renovation” is an intimate story not only about personal relationships but also about wider historical situations and inherited collective traumas.

Silence is golden.

This is a play about how much we really tell and how much we keep for ourselves. It is a story of a couple who has just broken up and their lives after that, interrupted by nameless background players, their dialogs and monologues, speaking about different things but same ideas. The play begins with the break up when the girl is kicked out of boy’s apartment where they spent most of their time together. As the play is building up, she learns more and more of the things the boy has kept for himself. After facing the truth and people’s opinions on it the girl tries to understand her own opinion. Background players, who are not directly involved in the main story, also try to speak up but they, too, have to face the fake necessity of silence. Is the world full of secrets or of silence?

If you would search for INFORMATION on internet, you would easily find that LEGEND is described to be “The story of the legend generalizes essential and fatal events. The world in legends tends to have fantasy, alien elements. Poetical style, enhanced tone is characteristic to legends.” This is an experimental play. There you will not find typical narrative, fable, character arcs and goals. In this play the main characters are words. Words who are interpreted, heard and understood differently and the essence of performance’s dramaturgy is created by every viewer-reader. This play still has actors but the main responsibility for the performance and what can happen “Here and now” is at audience’s hands.

Distinctive feature of the characters in “Rūstytė” is that all of them are spiritually poisoned, their personalities are more or less disintegrated, affected by toxic forces from outside. In “Rūstytė” there is no main theme, it is a huge pile of many themes. The main character is based on a person who the author had been following on Facebook for a year before writing the play. That person’s social mask of typical middle aged woman, going through a divorce and sharing on social media details of her fight for custody of her children and projecting herself as a activist in fight for animal rights and welfare. Author’s relationship with the person she is following is shining with empathy, rejection and even denial.
