It’s bedtime for Gulliver. Night. But this child wants to grow up so much that his parents have no choice but to play a game to help him experience the passage of time and the most important periods of human life. Together, after forgetting their sleep and with the help of the boy’s toys, they travel through countries of different ages – childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age – gently revealing what each of these mysterious places brings to us… The action takes place at night, so the story is created by lights and shadows. And the countries visited by the characters are all prototypes of the countries described in Gulliver’s Travels by Irish writer Jonathan Swift (1667-1745).<\/p>\n
According to Milda Mi\u010diulyt\u0117, the graduator from the directors’ course at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre in 2019 under the direction of Eimuntas Nekro\u0161ius, who is making her debut in L\u0116L\u0116 with this performance: \u201cThrough this performance, I want to show and remind children and their parents that the best time is not in the past or in the future, but in the \u201cnow\u201d. In addition, the choice of a theatre-within-the theatre format is intended to help children to understand that any kind of play, even with the simplest objects, can be fun through imagination, and at the same time to encourage parents to talk to their children more often in the language of play that they can understand… \u201c<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this performance we combine a live set, puppets and shadows,\u201d says Mi\u010diulyt\u0117, emphasising the importance of shadows in the visual language of the work. \u201eThe idea of using shadows came to me earlier, when I was reading the play, because it takes place at night and the child doesn’t want to fall asleep. And at night there is the play of lights and darkness, and shadows. All those shadows became like one more character in the play.\u201c<\/p>\n
