OKT/Vilnius City Theatre: “Sventoji”

2026-08-02 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

The story of Mary Egyptian, which is surrounded by rumors and mysticism, is the point from which the creators of the performance resist. This woman is forced to sell her body, who lived in the 4th century. In Alexandria, along with the pilgrims, traveled to Jerusalem. However, the gates to the Holy Sepulchre were closed to her. After that, she wandered in the desert for years, seeking repentance and peace.

What would the story of a 21st-century Ethiopian woman wandering around an urbanized “disterity” and looking for liberation? Is there less coercion left in our society more civilized? Did she become more empathetic? More lenient? More tolerant? Finally, less patriarchal?
