A two-part play based on Patrick Marber’s Closer<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Open Circle Theatre<\/strong> presents AQUARIUM<\/strong>, a gripping stage adaptation inspired by Patrick Marber’s acclaimed play Closer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the story are four strangers<\/strong> brought together by chance and drawn into an emotionally charged confrontation shaped by love, desire, personal insecurities, and profound existential loneliness. Their individual choices lead them into a situation that feels at once deeply familiar and hauntingly dreamlike\u2014where intimacy becomes a nightmare and every decision has lasting consequences.<\/p>\n

Blending theatre, cinema, and music<\/strong>, AQUARIUM<\/strong> invites audiences of every kind\u2014those who know, those who don’t, the empathetic and the cynical, the hopeful and the disappointed\u2014to recognize themselves on stage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“It’s a lie. A collection of sad, beautifully photographed strangers, and all those wealthy art connoisseurs claim it’s wonderful because it’s exactly what they want to see. The people in the photographs are lonely and unhappy, yet the world they inhabit looks beautiful. The exhibition is comforting\u2014which is a complete lie. And what could be more appealing than one big, sweet lie?”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The cast features beloved Open Circle<\/strong> actors Giedrius Kiela<\/strong> and Judita Urnikyt\u0117<\/strong>, alongside rising actor Matas Pranskevi\u010dius<\/strong> and Karolina Kildait\u0117<\/strong>, making her stage debut.<\/p>\n

“Lying is the most fun you can have without taking your clothes off. But it’s even better if you do.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Director Ieva Stund\u017eyt\u0117<\/strong>, known for exploring the complexity and discomfort of human relationships in her previous productions, once again turns her attention to the intricate kaleidoscope of intimacy in AQUARIUM<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
