In Love with a Sea Troll

Vladas Suncovas
10 September 19.00, RISEBA Architecture and Media Centre H2O, Ūdens st. 6 | Free entrance

The currently developing play is loosely based on the 16th century monumental book A Description of the Northern Peoples by a Swedish writer Olaus Magnus. It is a journey through the customs and folklore of Nordic countries playfully interlinked with Vladas Suncovas’ research into socialists utopias, avant-garde architecture and his own personal experiences in Scandinavia.
The play brings the audience to the souvenir kiosk filled with colorful plastic stories about Norwegian trolls, oil rigs, rib-caged houses, mysterious mountains, dancing Lithuanian bears and many more. Gradually our role of curious tourists in a cruise ship is transformed into a tightly packed goods stuck in the parameters of a shipping container.

Work-in-progress stage reading organised in collaboration with the Lithuanian National Drama Theatre’s Contemporary Dramaturgy Festival and creative platform for devising new dramaturgy Versmė.
