I Chase the Summer

I am something that, when you have me, you might think you don’t; when you don’t have me, you may believe you do.
I cannot be bought, sold, or borrowed.
I can be big or small.
I can be true or false.
Yet—those who seek will always find me.

“I Chase the Summer”—a play performed in numerous theatres across Lithuania and beyond, beloved by both children and adults. A magical story that is now reborn on the stage of Keistuolių Theatre.
