On 31 October 2025 at 8:00 PM, a free concert with theatrical elements will take place in Šventaragis Valley, located in Vilnius’ Sereikiškės Park. The aim of the event is to offer people a different way to commemorate All Souls’ Day.
Through this event, the organisers invite people to view death as a part of life – not to deny it, push it away, or demonise it, but to accept it. In doing so, they encourage a deeper understanding of the importance of every minute spent on Earth and, consequently, of the meaning of our own lives.
During the concert, actor Giedrius Arbačiauskas, portraying a grandfather, and Akvilė Ališauskaitė, playing the role of a granddaughter, will engage in a conversation enriched by musical performances from:
• Jurga Šeduikytė
• Ąžuoliukas Choir
• Hiperbolė legend Viktoras Prapras with Vladas Kovaliovas
• Rafailas Karpis
• Baltos Varnos
• Ieva Zasimauskaitė
At the end of the concert, all attendees will be invited to light the candles they have brought with them from a ceremonial fire that will be lit during the event.
The concert will conclude a programme of educational activities taking place in Šventaragis Valley from 26 to 29 October.
