This woman, forced to sell her body, lived in 4th-century Alexandria and traveled with pilgrims to Jerusalem. However, the gates to the Holy Sepulchre were closed to her. After that, she wandered the desert for many years, seeking repentance and peace.How might the story of Mary of Egypt in the 21st century, wandering through an urbanized “desert” and searching for liberation, look? Has there been less violence in our society as it has become more civilized? Has it become more empathetic? More forgiving? More tolerant? Finally, less patriarchal?Today, Mary of Egypt can be any woman – a mother, daughter, sister, wife, navigating every day that sharp line between the saint and the sinner.In this premiere, OKT/Vilniaus miesto teatras invites the audience to step into another unexplored and, this time, extremely uncomfortable, yet especially important X territory. “Šventoji” is a territory of violence, where a woman who has suffered violence and dependence throughout her life finds the strength to break out of her crisis and choose a radically different path in life. This is a performance about a woman’s survival in a radical patriarchal society full of violence against women.Inspired by Vidmantė Jasukaitytė’s novel “Marija Egiptietė”.CREATIVE TEAM:Direction, choreography, scenography and costumes – Eglė Jackaitė, Oskaras KoršunovasAdaptation – Eglė Jackaitė, Kunigunda Dineikaitė, Dali Rust, Oskaras KoršunovasLighting – Vilius VilutisMusic – Gintaras SodeikaCast – Eglė JackaitėDoors open: 1 hour before the eventEvent duration: 1 hr 20 min.Intermission: noneEvent language: LithuanianChildren admitted free: noAge limit: N-16Discounts: not applicableEvent organizer:Oskaro Koršunovo teatras, VšĮEmail: [email protected] no.: +370 626 11877
