This is not the first time that the Cemetery Club has greeted spectators, bringing together full halls of fans. The performance touches on many important topics that are familiar to everyone: love for life, long-term and strong friendship, trying to live differently without losing a loved one. Here, the lives of three single women are full of laughter, tears, anger, and reconciliation. You know the exceptional atmosphere and the relationship with the audience, a group of actors who have been acting together for years.

Actress Eglė Gabrėnaitė considers that a rare miracle happened in this performance – the actors and the director just found themselves in the right place at the right time. “I repeat all my life to myself and my students: no matter what, it matters to whom. I remember the educator asking why she loves our class so much, the picture of our class hung from her, and she replied – little children, you fell very well for me. I think that we all fell so well in this performance that there is no need to act anymore, ”says E. Gabrėnaitė with a smile.

Despite the longevity of the performance, it is a little different each time, gaining elements of improvisation and new experience. Considering the long-standing popularity of the performance about the stronger, Nijolė Narmontaitė revealed that partly due to its success, therefore determined by vital and recognizable themes, everyone finds something close and their own.

According to her, more than once after the performance, the audience, especially the women, have confessed: “This performance is about me”. “More than one woman has admitted that she gathered in a club after this performance, she said that we had given us a direction on how to live. I have met people who have visited this show both five and six times and still said they are discovering new details every time. Of course, the performance is alive, so certain nuances are constantly revealed. This is natural, ”N. Narmontaitė shares her thoughts on the performance.

The performance invites a brighter look at a difficult situation, as well as sending an important one even the most difficult situation to a person. According to Elvyra Piškinaitė, it will inevitably happen that sooner or later people will leave one of them when they live alone. “At that time, it probably seems that a person is in great loss, in pain, and in our performance we show these experiences through a brighter prism, a less strongly emphasized, less necessary angle. We show you three possible choices and each person finds their own answer. The theme of the play is close to most people: both older and younger people, after all, happen in every way. The performance sends a message that life does not end with death and loss, and a person must find ways to live on. Juoma – you are not alone, human, in your pain, not alone with the loss, and we are like that, just adapted in one way or another, ”he says.

No less important comedy explores an interesting, attractive and close topic these days. According to Kristina Andrejauskaitė, few performances related to the topic are exciting today, especially for the elderly. “The play is about loneliness, burying loved ones. All people are uniquely participants in that performance because it is common to have lost dear people during their lifetime. Both men and women who come to the performance get upset, not because they have to cry. But the subject is very painful, close to all of us. nevertheless, comedy goes hand in hand with tragedy. And there can be comic situations during a funeral. The play reveals recognizable and common themes, and the viewer misses it. Plays well whole and sincerely. Both good and grainy and funny. We have been playing together for many years, getting older, changing, so there are new roosters and improvisations. Interesting colleagues, ”Kristina Andrejauskaitė opens to watch.

Although the theme is quite serious, the performance will be neither sad nor gloomy, but rather full of both laughter and tears. We invite you to meet on November 22nd. Šiauliai Culture Center, December 3. At the Panevėžys Community Palace and on December 7. Kaunas, Girstutis Culture Palace.
