Paper Swans
In a closed park at night, a security guard on his patrol finds a young woman
in a ballet dress sitting on the bench making paper swans.
As he tries to find out what she is doing and why, he locks them in a continuous never-ending loop of having to encounter each other again and again. However, each time they meet, there is a slight change in the situation from the one before.
This work draws on absurdist theatre, visual symbolism and the playwright's personal experience, as a woman from a post-Soviet country (Lithuania) coming to the UK.
