When I Was Little

“An adult is someone who knows everything, who has learned everything from their mother” (Augustė, 6)

“School is a building I go to every weekday to learn, so that later I won’t have to sweep the streets” (Laura, 10)

“Love is a feeling. For example, when it feels warm next to another person” (Justina, 11)

“Theatre is a fun and interesting fairy tale that I don’t have to read myself” (Kamilė, 13)

“When we were little, we were surrounded by a very strange world. Everyone around us was so big and wanted something from us. When we grew a little older, we started going to school. There we experienced all kinds of things: friendship, love, betrayal, joy and envy. Then we dreamed about what we would become when we grew up. When we were grown, we remembered our childhood mischief, adventures and stories—stories that could be turned into a funny and interesting book. But we’re not writers, so we decided it would be better to act it all out. That’s how the play ‘When I Was Little’ was born. (Eimantas, 29; Vesta, 30; Vaidotas, 38 — actors at Keistuolių teatras)
