Lithuania is marking a historic milestone in 2023 – the 700th anniversary of Vilnius.

In regards to such an honorable date, Vilnius has prepared an international program that is already spreading its wings and cultural satellites shall embrace the globe.

Riga, You are the first one!

Just before the summer ends, Hanzas Perons will host a play about the relationship with an idea of a child, with a dance, and the creative process when one is in quest of meaning, truthfulness, as well as attempts to survive the daily routine of creation and life.

As Vilnius is about to be 700 years young, such questions shall be raised by a progressive team of unique creators from MMLab – arts and science lab.

About the performance:

The play is about the relationship with an idea of a child, with a dance, and the creative process when one is in quest of a meaning, of truthfulness, as well as attempts to survive the daily routine of creation and life.

The authors of the play raise questions about unquestionable norms in regards to having children, expecting them, giving birth, as well as not wanting or not being able to have children. All of us one way or another face the issue of having a child, and no matter what is our decision we feel obliged to justify it.

The play will be performed in English.
