ON 15 NOVEMBER, THE PERFORMANCE WILL BE SUBTITLED IN ENGLISH
In 2022, the performance was awarded by the main jury members for stage mastercraft at the international theater festival "Sirenas".
In 2022, Uncle Vanya by The State Small Theatre of Vilnius was awarded four Golden Stage Crosses for best directing, male and female leading roles and costume design.
One of four plays by Anton Chekhov, “Uncle Vanya” was written in 1896 and staged in many theaters of Europe. The author himself calls this play “Scenes from Country Life in Four Acts”. It is one of the most emotional plays of all time where author depicted the very essence of human life, the greatest desires, and the bitterest disappointments. In this play about wasted human lives interweave various genres – comedy, drama, and tragedy. It is well known that A. Chekhov is not only a subtle psychologist but also a master of undercurrents. The play staged at The State Small Theatre of Vilnius gives you even more. Here the celebration of life erupts like a loud firework. Rejected love, unfulfilled hopes, and bitterness of dreams leave a lump in the throat.
The play was created together with an international team at The State Small Theatre of Vilnius. The director Tomi Janežič is an expert in dramaturgy by Anton Chekhov. He constantly returns to his plays where absurd was masterfully mixed with realities of life. T. Janežič is well known in Europe for his talent to create emotionally touching but at the same time intellectual performances. Even though Tomi Janežič’s works are filled with exceptional directorial interpretations, he is a true experimenter and a researcher of human nature. Only to stage a play isn’t the most important thing for him. The most important thing is to find a connection with people: actors, all creative team, and finally – the public. During rehearsals, the director uses the psychodrama method to mobilize the actor and to create a safe environment for opening up and creating.
Janežič is staging plays and presenting lectures in Italy, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Bulgaria and other countries. His plays are traveling all over the world and presented in the greatest European theater festivals (Wiener Festwochen, Avignon, Kunstenfestivaldesarts, MESS, etc.). The director has been awarded with several international theater awards. T. Janežič is not only a director, but also a professor at the Academy for Theatre, Radio, Film, and Television (AGRFT) in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and a psychodrama psychotherapist. He is one of the founders and the artistic director of the Studio for Research on the Art of Acting.
