Fear of death is among the most common causes of anxiety, often manifesting in various indirect ways. The literary starting point for this performance is the book "Looking at the Sun: How to Overcome the Fear of Death" by psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom, which examines the fear of death through the prism of literature, philosophy and the experiences of I. Yalom's patients. However, this literature is used only as an inspiration to create an absolutely new circus and theater dramaturgy. Anxiety, rushing to achieve something, social isolation, conflict – these are just a small part of the common symptoms of our time, which can actually hide anxiety about death. In the current context, when death is so easily accessible, it can happen unexpectedly to anyone from the close environment, pandemics, war, ecological catastrophe and other unexpected events, it is the right time to talk about extremely natural fear. Especially when this anxiety is addressed not in an instructive way, but in the questioning language of movement.

This show is the first one in the new direction of Teatronas in which the company combines theatre and contemporary circus.

Teatronas is an abnormal theatre company that constantly seeks to redefine the notion of theatre, sensitive social problems, and well known classical stories. The main goal of the company is authenticity rather than artistic innovation, that is why the company can proudly say that it became the most sincere version of itself. This version directly reflects the oxymorons of our contemporary world that are converted into the company's productions: humane cynicism, the hurry to stop and think, journey into the discovery of self, to hurt in the name of love and chasing dreams by doing other jobs.
This main mission leads the company to progress, gives motivation and the feeling of the absurdity of our actions, that is much needed in order to create our shows.
