GULLIVER WANTS TO GROW UP || A Puppet and Shadow Play for Children

It's time for Gulliver to go to bed. Night falls. But this child wants to grow up so much that his parents have no choice but to help him experience the passage of time and the most important stages of human life through play. So, together, forgetting sleep and using the boy's toys, they travel through the lands of different ages – childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age – gently revealing what each of these mysterious places brings us... The play takes place at night, so the story is created by light and shadow. And all the lands visited by the characters are prototypes of the countries described in the book "Guliverio kelionės" by the Irish writer Jonathan Swift (1667–1745). According to director Milda Mičiulytė, who is making her debut at "Lėlė" with this play and graduated from Eimuntas Nekrošius' directing course at the Lietuvos muzikos ir teatro akademija in 2019: "With this play, we want to show and remind children and their parents that the best time is not in the past or the future, but 'now'. Furthermore, by choosing the theatre within theatre form, we want to help children understand that with imagination, any game, even with the simplest objects, can be interesting and, at the same time, encourage parents to talk to their children more often in a language they understand – the language of games..."
