On 31 July, the Oven Pavilion, a new space dedicated to community gatherings, will host a performance by Merope. Please join us for a unique experience full of subtle harmony and atmospheric sounds 🔥

Hazy and ambient Lithuanian folk reinterpretations, along with the celestial sounds of kanklės woven with ornate, experimental guitar tunes and electronics, will be performed by Lithuanian singer and kanklės player Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė and Belgian sound artist Bert Cools. Merope’s music is deeply rooted in Lithuanian folk songs and interwoven with elements of ambient, jazz, traditional, electronic music, and minimalism. The duo’s moving compositions enchant and provide a soundtrack for today’s landscape.

Oven Pavilion, Cultural Complex SODAS 2123, Vitebsko Str. 21, Vilnius

The Oven Pavilion is an interactive architectural sculpture, serving as a public space for community gatherings, education, events, and other activities. This work is a collaboration between interdisciplinary artist Kamilė Krasauskaitė and architects Ona Lozuraitytė and Petras Išora. The structure harmoniously combines the ideas of the three creators, functionality, and the surrounding environment – integrating the oven, the architects’ pavilion around it, and the space it occupies. This project, part of the Vilnius City Municipality’s Create Vilnius (Kuriu Vilnių) programme, reflects the needs of the local communities, creating a new focal point in the city that activates and enhances public space.
