The youth of Kaunas will invite audiences to listen to the forgotten stories of the Second World War and consider the challenges posed by contemporary history. After listening to stories recounted by a prior generation of Kaunas residents, the eyewitnesses to war, the project’s participants worked with professional theatre directors from Holland and Lithuania to create a theatrical retelling to be presented in one of the city’s public spaces.
Unfortunately, war is a subject that continues to remain relevant to today’s generations.
The youth of Kaunas will invite audiences to listen to the forgotten stories of the Second World War and consider the challenges posed by contemporary history.

The idea for this project was conceived at the Theatre Na de Dam in Amsterdam. For several years, its creators have been involving young people in meaningful conversations about the memory of the Second World War and what the war means to us today.
