ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

Dive into the (science) theatre!
May 2025

For several years now, the educational theatre festival “Dive into the Theatre” has been delving into specific themes or presenting new forms of theatre. The 2023 programme was dedicated to captivating the world of sound theatre, while last year, audiences were invited to be part of the performance and experience inclusive theatre. This year, the theatre is set to take audiences on an unforgettable journey, as it attempts to merge the essence of both theatre and science. During the “Dive into the Science Theatre” festival, several creators from Lithuania and abroad will present their performances, offering audiences the opportunity to experience the fusion of science and art: technological innovations in theatre and the theatricality of science. A multitude of educational activities, organised in collaboration with the Science Island, the first centre for the promotion of science and innovation in Lithuania, and a performance by Belgian creators on how to grow a robot are just some of the highlights that audiences can look forward to in May 2025 at the National Kaunas Drama Theatre. This autumn, the festival curator and director Žilvinas Vingelis will be presenting a spectacular premiere for the whole family on the Main Stage: Alice through the Looking Glass, combining the magic of theatre, circus and media. Theatre and science are both amazing in their own right, and together they can create something truly magical.
