About MMLAB

Arts and Science Lab (Meno ir mokslo laboratorija, MMLAB) is a young professional theatre based in Vilnius, Lithuania. It was launched with creative projects where artists and scientists experimented together with new forms and subjects for the theatre works. The key MMLAB strategy is experimentation with artistic forms and subjects. In 2019 MMLAB gained professional theatre status by Lithuanian ministry of Culture. In 2019 by decision of Vilnius Municipality MMLAB became Vilnius City Theatre.

Each MMLAB project involves an increasingly larger number of artists; the LAB is also one of the fastest growing young artist organisations that have gained recognition among critics and audiences. Now there are 13 different performances (theatre, dance, interdisciplinary, audio) in the repertoire of MMLAB. Creators are also experimenting by creating installations in unconventional spaces, such as underground passages or old kindergarten.  Each summer MMLAB creates small experimental open stage – urban theatre festival, where performances are presented whole summer.
