In brief: Meanwhile, announcements about events abroad in which our artists participate may not always be verified. Information is usually presented by artists themselves and usually the only thing left is to trust them. Still, Kaunas Chamber Theatre breached the limit of TRUST striving for its glory. From now on it will be necessary to prove the news about the triumph of our artists abroad by official documents.
In brief: Giving presents is pleasant. Accepting them is even more pleasant. Still, are gifts related with positive feelings only? Whether we are glad about a gift, depends on the taste and intentions of the giver of a present. Also, we should not interfere third persons into such a process, the National M. K. Čiurlionis Museum in this case.
In brief: What relates the Norwegian composer Edward Grieg and our composer Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis? An expert would start searching for relations in the feeling created by music, in studies or elsewhere. However, every music admirer of Kaunas may answer – they are related by the festival.
In brief: The old Žaliakalnis funicular of Kaunas has turned into a time machine and brings travellers to the past or present-day Russia. The exhibition of the British photographer Simon Roberts “Motherland Russia” is a cycle of photographs which has gained many responses abroad. It has been created during long trips in the far regions of Russia – along the Siberia, the Far East, Volga banks, Kaliningrad in search for places which have not been touched by modernisation.
