Fragile and very beautiful soul

Actor and director Kirilo Glušajevo The performance “I don’t remember anything” directed by Gediminas Girdvainis became the last one he had to play. People.lt When interviewed, K. Glušajev did not spare Gediminas beautiful words.

The actor named G. Girdvain, a brilliant memory, as a sensitive, moderate, honest, temperamental, passionate, generous, caring and affectionate person.

“The nine months that I rehearsed my performance with Gediminas are the most valuable of my life. Thanks to Gediminas, they allowed me to earn eternity every day. Both in the sense of life, professional and human. And human, first of all While close to Gediminas, it was possible to travel to the past: in the middle of the 20th century, where he appeared, it was possible to travel and see what the actor’s life is like, both in his youth and in the middle of his acting career. With Gediminas, I was able to travel to the future here and now and see what the final stage of an actor’s life is.

With it, it was possible to travel from the past to the future and see the future, not wanting to rush any further, because it showed how much endurance, wisdom and strength this difficult path requires, which can often seem playful, interesting and even frivolous to viewers and the people on the side. In human terms, however, this path is very difficult. It is not for nothing that one of the works says: “Bring your cross and believe.” It was impossible not to believe near Gediminas. Along with him, it was impossible not to demand the maximum of oneself. And in addition to all of the above, it is very dear to me to remember that being with Gediminas, her fragile and very beautiful soul, felt. The sensitivity and fragility of his soul allowed him to be demanding and persistent in his tasks and professional details. “

One of the last Mohicans

Colleague of Gediminas Girdvainis Eglė Gabrėnaitė portal People.lt She said she would never forget her talent, and Gediminas would always have the phone number in her brochure, because perhaps at some point, according to the actress, it would be necessary to call.

“I first saw him at the conservatory. He was a freshman, and Gediminas showed his diploma. It was a wonderful performance ‘Bottom of Gorky’. Our course was impressed and how much this performance showed, we both went to it. And we went for Gediminas Her role was wonderfully done Later, I saw many of these performances, but I didn’t see anything like what Gediminas was doing: she came out on stage with blue eyes, light hair and twisted … And when she was talking, the hallway Looking at it, I thought, “What a happy person. God really kissed him on the back of his head.” Later I saw him at the Youth Theater. He had the impression that everything he takes is easy.

After that, he arrived at the Little Theater. We were not very close because it happened that we starred in different performances. But of the old men in the theater with him, we stayed in two. And it’s sadly fun for me to remember when we talked about it during the tour.

When I found out he was gone, I first thought the actor was out. Of the capital letter. One of the last Mohicans, a superior professional.

I am very happy that my students, whom I pass now in the fourth year, managed to see Gediminas. They asked me a lot about him, we talked a lot, his opinion was very interesting to me. And looking at it, they asked me: “Is this a job or a talent?” I replied, “I worked in the theater for so long, but, kids, I don’t know.”

Sometimes it seems to me that this is a gift from God. He was a creator. Ethics was very important to him, he was infinitely discreet and correct.

There was everything between us, even anger. He is a Samogitian, I am a Lithuanian who does not look for a word in his pocket. But we were never very angry. I always justified it because I was ready for anything due to work.

Yesterday I opened my address book, I look … The number of Vytautas Šapranauskas is not erased, Kernagis too … I do not erase the phone numbers of those who meant something to me in my life. Gediminas – I’m not leaving either, I’m staying. Maybe one day you will have to call. ”

S t. Mass for Gediminas Girdvainis will take place on June 7. 8:30 a.m. at 9:30 p.m. Vilnius Street Joseph’s Church (Pilaitė Church).
