We invest much thought into what we should become in our lives, we then go on to study and put every effort into becoming this somebody – a teacher, scientist, engineer or actor. We have one chance only, and the possibility to miss out on it is huge. But sometimes fate brings us another challenge: to choose what we should become in a war. And in this case there is no room for mistake, you either hit it or you die.

Internationally acclaimed Hungarian theatre director Árpád Schilling and playwright Marius Ivaškevičius create a play about a presentiment of war and the feelings we all have but would rather not voice.

Performance is also co-created by a cast of actors consisting of Valentinas Masalskis, Nelė Savičenko, Vaiva Mainelytė, Diana Anevičiūtė, Vitalija Mockevičiūtė, Jevgenija Gladij, Rasa Samuolytė, Beata Tiškevič, Dainius Gavenonis, Martynas Nedzinskas, Gytis Ivanauskas, Valentin Novopolskij. The characters embodied by actors on stage bear the real names of actors.
