Farewell performance: „PASAKA APIE VĖŽLIUKĄ“ | Musical fairy tale for children

This is a musical fairy tale about a little turtle who, rejected by his older brothers, sets off alone into the world in search of happiness. During this journey, he understands many important things, including that happiness is different for everyone.

One of the oldest productions at the Lėlė Theatre stands out for its inventive set design (as if we were seeing the world through the little turtle’s eyes), its characters rendered with unexpected humour (for example, the Bird of Happiness, endowed with magical powers but little sense) and the actors’ improvisations.

Irmantas Jankaitis has performed in the production since 1998. It was this popular dramatic actor’s debut in puppet theatre and became his introduction to the puppeteer’s profession (Irmantas plays more than ten different characters here!). Today, Jankaitis is one of the Lėlė Theatre’s most prominent creators.
