Simply put, the play "Seniors" is a simple play about the extraordinary life of ordinary pensioners. The title of the play itself clearly suggests what it is about - old age. And who can say what and what it is, that old age? Comedy? Tragedy? Absurdity? Nonsense? Or maybe the most important part of a person's life? Apparently, there are all kinds of old age, just like all kinds of people. For one, it is a golden age, for another, hell, for a third... the third never understands what happened to him and continues to live as if he had lived: inside he is twenty, and outside he is a young man who has not slept. The fourth can't wait for this nightmare to end, the fifth has never had as much fun as now, the sixth seems to be just beginning... "Judge a person by how he ends his days." There is probably a lot of truth in this saying.
According to Rolandas Kazlas, the director of the play "Seniors" and one of the performers of the roles: "I would like this play to give an ordinary pensioner more than a small pension gives. And even more - to a future senior citizen. Although the heroes of the play are Italians, I would like an older Lithuanian viewer, having visited the play, to say or silently think to themselves: "this is about me", "a lot of things are recognizable to me" or "this is exactly what I needed a play like this right now".
The cast is truly impressive: three friends from the same generation, the same year, Vitalija Mockevičiūtė, Evaldas Jaras and Rolandas Kazlas, meet again after many years and, remembering their youth, meet their approaching old age on stage. No one knows how old V. Mockevičiūtė is, but the total age of the actors added together is quite solid: 165 years! A hundred more than the age of retirement. So, the experience of delving into the world of seniors, the joys and sorrows of the heroes of old age, should be enough.
We invite all the elderly, those who want to get older, and those who are ageless to the Premiere "Seniors"!
You can escape from old age. Where? Even in the opposite direction of time: to childhood…
