International Performing Arts Festival ConTempo

About

ConTempo is the largest international performing arts festival in central Lithuania, attracting spectators from across the country and beyond. The festival has steadily established itself among the main cultural events of Kaunas city and district, earning the trust of foreign and Lithuanian creators as well as the public. ConTempo's mission is to challenge performing arts, the city and the spectator: open, public and non-traditional spaces of Kaunas usually become the stage for festival events, determined by the lack of professional indoor spaces for performing arts and the diversity of performing arts disciplines as they cross genre boundaries. The festival presents a bold, conceptual programme that responds to current affairs, aiming to provoke critical thinking and inspire dialogues on artistic, social and political topics, contributing to the accessibility of culture in Kaunas district.
