The visual theater “Kosmos Theatre” has been organizing creative workshops for the sixth consecutive year dedicated to the development of visual theater in Lithuania in 2024. They explored the theme of interdisciplinarity. Among the participants of the laboratory are actively creating Lithuanian composers, musicians, directors, actors, multimedia and interdisciplinary artists. The laboratory’s mentor is the French composer, multimedia artist Pierre Jodlowski, whose work covers the areas of contemporary music, dance, circus, theater, visual arts, electronic music, film and interactive installations.
