The Fox Is Happiness („Laimė yra lapė“)

After a year-long break, the play „Laimė yra lapė“ („The Fox Is Happiness“) returns to the stage. It is based on a children’s book that has won numerous awards in Lithuania and abroad. The play tells a story about friendship and values in life: generosity, the sadness of loss and the joy of discovery. All of this unfolds to live music amid lively, playful and interactive action.

The much-loved play about happiness will once again delight young theatre-goers. At performances in different cities across Lithuania, they can meet the Fox and Povilas and discover a moving story. Those who have read the book on which the play is based can compare its characters with the ones embodied by the actors.

The book on which the play is based is well known to readers in Lithuania and abroad. The story of the friendship between a fox and a boy, created by writer Evelina Daciūtė and illustrator Aušra Kiudulaitė, attracted international interest and received acclaim at children’s book exhibitions in Italy, Japan, South Korea, China and America. It is read around the world.

“We are really looking forward to the new performances and meeting the children, because it is a celebration not only for the children but also for us, the actors in the play. After all, we don’t get the chance every day to romp, fool around and dream with them. In this play, children become active participants: they exercise with us, look for Miss Margarita and seek an answer to the question of what happiness is,” says Daiva Rudytė, an actor in the play.
