Event information

A guided tour-performance showcasing modernist architecture and interwar Kaunas. A city that entered the race with other European cities and achieved its own: it was called a little Paris, and in 2023, Kaunas buildings, their diversity, and the optimism that connects everything were recognised as exceptional not only in Lithuania, Europe, but also in the world. Kaunas' modernist architecture has been awarded UNESCO World Heritage status as one of the most outstanding early examples of regionalism in the history of modernist architecture.

It is a revival of a project created in 2017, a synthesis of sounds and dance performance that allows us to experience the lives of people who lived between the wars, such as: A.Smetona, A. Valdemaras, Č. Sugihara, M. Avietėnaitė, etc. and the stories of buildings. Revealing the events, the present day, the real life stories, the culture of the time, the uniqueness of the style and the uniqueness of the style. Each building, which is presented during the performance-tour lasting just over an hour, is unique, one of a kind, with a personal biography. The trajectory of the movement - the garden of the Military Museum, Vienybės Square, S.Daukanto Street, Laisvės Avenue.
The project is unique in that the viewer not only watches the visual staging of the work, but also becomes an immersive participant through headphones. The voices of R. Zemkauskas, G. Padegimas, B. Letukaitė, J. Kančienė, etc. The stories merge with the music, transporting the participants to another space, immersing them in a journey through the labyrinths of Kaunas' inter-war architecture and human history, and they are given meaning by the professional dancers of the ULNA troupe.
