“Nusilaužk koją” (Eng. “Break a leg”) is a collection of stories of several actors that seeks to present the experiences of young people in theatre. The piece explores the influence of theatre on young actors and analyses the dual relationship children have with it, which combines not only their love for theatre but also the emotional pain that it may cause.
The story “Break a Leg” was created during the mentorship programme of the audio festival “Banguoja” in 2024.
