JUST DON'T TELL

Director Diāna Kaijaka (“Girls and Boys” (2023) and “The Effect” (2024)) together with actress Madara Viļčuka, who is making her debut in original dramaturgy, have created a personal monologue on guilt and co-dependency, dripping in dark humour.

There are things that we don’t tell others. That’s just how it’s done. This is what many people are doing. It’s all right. Right?

Maybe being silent is not the best solution after all? It could be that someone else is asking themselves the same questiong. Maybe my shame and my secret are the norm – others feel that way too. But if they are the norm, maybe they don’t have to remain a secret? Maybe let’s talk? Maybe we can poke fun at it together, to make it easier.

Maybe, instead of saying “everything is fine,” we should sometimes say “everything is completely fucked” – so that we can finally feel truly okay?
