Kaunas, born in the embrace of two rivers, the Nemunas and the Neris, will be celebrating its birthday in a very special way this year \u2013 the grand weekend of The Confluence, the second act of the Contemporary Myth of Kaunas Trilogy, is about to begin.<\/span><\/h3>\n

This time, the city will be addressing its inhabitants in the language of water, inviting them to seek out intersections, convergence, connectedness, and \u2013 most importantly \u2013 for a communion with themselves and others. Kaunas\u2019s dream of returning to the river will finally come true. In its waters, we will be searching for peace. Caught in the river\u2019s current, we will be swept up in the whirlwind of events. We will ripple through the Kaunas district until, engulfed by streams of water, we will cover the whole city with splashes of culture. We will be celebrating unity: first and foremost, with ourselves, then with those around us, and finally with the city and the whole world. The Confluence will invite everyone to dive into three days brimming with unexpected experiences, video and audio journeys, encounters with culture and your own self.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Kaunas Beast is located on the Nemunas Island. The mythical sculpture of Kaunas Beast near the \u017dalgiris Arena is the crowning of the second action of the European Capital of Culture trilogy – Kaunas Beast, awakened in January, will appear on the metal pier in Nemunas on May 21. Myth tells that the Beast lives in the great Underground Kaunas, full of all memories, and comes to our Sunny Kaunas with you at dusk, because the Beast works here. His job, according to a contract once made with the townspeople, is to make sure that everything is fine in Kaunas. So on May 21, the Beast, as usual, will appear at midnight and since then will delight the townspeople and tourists every day. Going to it is forbidden because it is dangerous! It is best to greet the Beast from afar, from Karaliaus Mindaugas Ave. the embankment bike path or from the \u017dalgiris Arena bridge at the Carmelite Church. The design was created by Darius Petreikis and implemented by Stasys Bei\u0161ys with the team UAB Funkcinis dizainas.<\/span><\/p>\n

May 21st midnight, come 23:55<\/span><\/p>\n

Location: \u017dalgiris Arena Bridge at the Carmelite Church or on the cycle path along the quay.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are sure that this exhibition will touch a nerve. Through this exhibition, our city will engage in a candid conversation with itself like never before. It will transport audiences to the 1960s and 1970s and the communities of disobedient people who resisted the system: illegal rock music bands, Kaunas actors and pantomime performers, rebellious hippies, and modern artists from Kaunas and Vilnius. Paintings, photographs, and films, documentary testimonials of the city\u2019s musical life, youth fashion from the period, and other artifacts will tell the story about an alternative culture and a non-Soviet lifestyle led in Soviet Lithuania.

The exhibition \u201cThat Which We Do Not Remember\u201d by William Kentridge, a South African artist with Litvak roots, who has been celebrated as a contemporary artistic genius, invites us to enter into dialogue with ourselves.

We are sure that this exhibition will touch a nerve. Through this exhibition, our city will engage in a candid conversation with itself like never before. It will transport audiences to the 1960s and 1970s and the communities of disobedient people who resisted the system: illegal rock music bands, Kaunas actors and pantomime performers, rebellious hippies, and modern artists from Kaunas and Vilnius. Paintings, photographs, and films, documentary testimonials of the city\u2019s musical life, youth fashion from the period, and other artifacts will tell the story about an alternative culture and a non-Soviet lifestyle led in Soviet Lithuania. Curator: Rasa \u017dukien\u0117.<\/p>\n
