A two-act play from Lithuania, The Mother, adapted from Russian author Maxim Gorky's novel of the same title, will make its China debut at the ongoing Meet in Beijing Arts Festival.

Over 500 artists from 22 countries will attend the annual cultural event this year. It runs through May 31.

The play will be staged at Tsinghua University on May 20 and 21.

Before that, it will tour the Chinese cities of Nanjing, Shanghai and Xiamen.

Directed by Kirill Glushajev and performed by the actors and actresses of the State Small Theatre of Vilnius, the play tells the story of Vassa Zheleznova, a woman whose alcoholic husband assaults her and does not do enough for their son while alive. She works in a factory for years and raises her son but eventually she and her son clash.

"The conflicts between materialism and spirituality, and between sociability and individualism have been presented well in The Mother. We may see it as a Lithuanian story but at the same time it's recognizable in every society," says Glushajev.

"I am more interested in the conflict between humans as individuals, especially in a family, rather than between different societies or ideologies," the 33-year-old director adds.

The play premiered at the State Small Theatre of Vilnius in the Lithuanian capital in 2011.

Lithuanian actress Egle Gabrenaite, who leads the cast as the mother in the play, has done more than 60 stage roles.
