The theme of Expo 2025 Osaka – “People’s Living Lab” – inspired the creation of a unique concept for Lithuania’s National Day. We invite you to experience “MKČ Lab: A Future Inspired by Čiurlionis”, an experimental musical and visual performance interpreting M. K. Čiurlionis’s vision of Lithuania as a kind of laboratory of the future. The event will connect live performances in Osaka with pre-recorded visuals and sounds from Lithuania.

The MKČ Lab performance will feature a continuous musical composition that reimagines Čiurlionis’s works through contemporary interpretations and improvisations on his themes. A dynamic musical collage, enhanced by electronic elements, will give the performance a modern soundscape.

Original musical arrangements, performed by a wide range of Lithuanian artists – orchestras, choirs, organists, carillon players, bell-ringers, and drummers – will be filmed in various locations across Lithuania. These video recordings will serve as an audiovisual backdrop for the soloists performing live on the EXPO stage in Osaka, creating a unique real-time connection with Lithuania.

The chosen filming locations will reflect the musical themes and help shape the image of Lithuania as an authentic, green, and modern country. Čiurlionis’s visual art, brought to life through digital graphics, will weave the video content into an immersive and cohesive visual narrative.

We invite you to experience a unique synthesis of Lithuanian culture and innovation at Expo 2025 Osaka!
