A two-part crime story “The Pillowman” opens the interrogation process that paints a grotesque and contradictory story of the
brothers Katurjan (Matas Pranskevičius) and Michal (Džiugas Širvys/Danas Kamarauskas).  The works of the writer Katurjan –
short stories full of masterful puzzles – turn out to have unlimited freedom and impact; they are powerful tools capable of
revenge and death.
At the first glance, “The Pillowman” directed by Ieva Stundzytė, is not a typical performance of Keistuoliai Theatre. “The
Pillowman” is filled with the cruelty experienced by those born under an unfortunate star. However, this is only the first layer,
after which completely opposite perceptions appear – lightness, purification.
