Performance the \u201cAssembly Kaunas\u201d is a joint creative project of the Kaunas National Drama Theatre and the documentary theatre Porte Parole (Canada).

During the creative process of the performance, the creative team invited 4 strangers with different ideological views to a dinner in which they discussed the topics greatly polarising our society. In the performance, you will see the re-enacted discussion: the actors will play real people, who have participated; their language will be authentic and not edited. The Assembly Kaunas is an aspiration to restore our faith in the possibility of change.<\/p>\n
