According to the choreographer Marina Kesler “the world of “The Lizard” is extremely exciting. The plot takes place in two parallel worlds – there is the shooting of a film, where on the background of war a love-story progresses and the world behind the scenes, where love suddenly becomes a reality. As a stage director I tell a very human story about love where the two realities entwine so completely that the protagonists do not understand what is real and what happens in the movies, and this will bring about a tragic ending. Sumera’s music is very powerful and gives strong choreographic impulses. It is amazing, how contemporary, and actual the libretto is! It lacks the cliché plot of classical operas and ballets, where most of the events are predictable. “The Lizard” is a story of real people, a story told from heart to heart”.
