THE PLACE WHERE LAVANDULILILI GROWS,
It is a beautiful place, this small island on the Croatian coast. There, people speak differently, a special type of lavender grows, chickens fly, and the sea and sky could switch places.
In the play, we follow Vlaho and Đulija, his friend from the mainland, as they come to Vlaho’s island and meet its inhabitants: the chickens and the rooster Mario Tomašević, the seagull Anđel, the Mother who is unfamiliar with personal boundaries and the Father who brings the storm. Đulija comes to the island with a hidden wish, but the magic of the Place Where Lavandulilili Grow has the power to discover and fulfil any wish, if we let it.
