„Legacy”

\"\"<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The word legacy<\/em> should subconsciously lead us to the verbs to remain<\/em> and to leave behind<\/em>\u2026
Unfortunately, very often, all too often, when parents or loved ones pass away, relatives cannot divide the inheritance. And not because there are millions at stake, but very often simply out of principle\u2026 because someone never apologized, never reconciled\u2026
During such quarrels, people remind each other of old grievances\u2026 they place imaginary scales on the table and begin to weigh even words, visits, weeding in the garden, caring for parents, coughs, gifts \u2014 everything is measured and re-measured in money, and so on. Such is life, and such is reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This real-life story \u201cLegacy\u201d<\/em> (script and direction by Andr\u0117ja Stulginskien\u0117) was presented by actors from Naujoji Akmen\u0117 \u2014 Rasa Vasiliauskien\u0117 and Algimantas Ra\u0161imas, performing the roles of sister and brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sister Aldona, driven out of her home by her husband, returns to her childhood house after more than 20 years. Her brother carries grievances\u2026 not about property, but about the fact that Aldona couldn\u2019t even manage to come back for their mother\u2019s funeral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excerpt from the performance:<\/strong>

Virgutis: \u201cMother remained waiting at the window, staring into the distance through the curtains, always adjusting her festive kerchief\u2026 because maybe now\u2026 maybe today\u2026 the stray daughter would return\u2026 And what could I do? How could I help? Only be there\u2026 only be there\u2026 with the same letters read over and over, written a decade ago\u2026 with the same photographs of your little one\u2026 the apple tree branches have been cut away\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will they manage to talk again, to trust, and to open their hearts to each other?
Will they be able to become once more the children who ran and played in the same yard?..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All their quarrel is silently watched by an old apple tree\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
