CODA Dance School: Interactive Dance Performance "The Elf Factory"

07 December 2026 12:00

Every year, December turns homes into a scene of anticipation for a miracle—but did you know that at the most unexpected moment, when everyone is asleep, a completely different kind of factory springs to life in the house? Santa’s elves, tired of being nothing but gift-bearers all year long, gather at the secret “Culture Factory” and unleash their own brand of chaos—pranks, games, laughter, and surprises that turn the house upside down.

With this play, we want to remind children (and their parents) that Christmas isn’t just about peace and order, but also about the courage to be mischievous, creative, and cheerful. Because the true spirit of Christmas is born where there is room for laughter, play, and little, gentle shenanigans.

Presentation of the play:

In Santa’s workshop, everything is supposed to run according to a strict routine—the gifts are counted, the lists are checked, and the elves work nonstop. But this year, a few elves decide that too much order is boring. At night, while the homeowners are asleep, they venture out into the world and set up their own “culture factory”—a place where the most inventive, funniest, and most unexpected pranks are born.

They hide on shelves, wrap themselves in toilet paper, swap shoes, and invite children to join them in their fun, interactive world. Together with Tadas Jakas, the crisis-management-expert elf (Klaipėda State Music Theater), and professional, certified elf movement masters from the “CODA” dance school, the young audience members will become true participants in the mischief.

"Amazing Things" | When It's Hard to Speak, Theater Can Help You Find Your Voice

08 September 2026 18:00
Free

When it’s hard to speak, theater can help you find your voice: Residents of the Klaipėda District are invited to a free performance of “Wonderful Things”

To mark World Suicide Prevention Day, residents of the Klaipėda District are invited to a free performance of “Wonderful Things.”

The performance, taking place on September 8 at 6 p.m. at the Klaipėda Culture Factory, will invite the audience to pause, reflect on what gives life meaning, and speak more openly about emotional struggles.
Suicide prevention is not just about providing help during a crisis. It’s also about being able to notice the person next to you, having the courage to ask, “How are you really feeling?” and understanding that you don’t have to go through difficult times alone.

The play “Wonderful Things” uses theater to make the sensitive and complex topic of mental health more accessible. Audiences are invited to notice the everyday, sometimes very small things that make life worth living, and at the same time to reflect on how important it is to seek connection, hope, and help when they are needed most.

“Sometimes, a person going through a difficult time doesn’t need complicated advice. For them, the most important thing may be knowing that they are not alone. An open conversation, sincere attention, and timely assistance can be a very important step,” emphasize specialists from the Klaipėda District Public Health Office.

The event also aims to reduce the stigma associated with mental health challenges and promote a more open attitude toward emotional well-being.

Culture and the arts can help us talk about difficult experiences in a sensitive way, without judgment or preconceptions.

Event – For Residents of the Klaipėda District

The performance will take place on September 8 at 6 p.m. at the Klaipėda Culture Factory. Admission is free, but advance registration is required.

Residents of the Klaipėda District aged 16 and older are invited to the performance. Seating is limited—up to 200 people may attend the event. The performance lasts about 2 hours.

Registration: https://forms.gle/B5HKVrEjhGkTg4Yp8
Registration is open until September 7 or until all spots are filled.

Important: Photography and videography will take place during the event.
The organizers invite not only those who are currently facing emotional difficulties to attend the performance, but also anyone who cares about the emotional well-being of their loved ones, friends, or community.

Sometimes, helping someone starts with a simple conversation. And sometimes, it starts with the courage to be there for them.

Klaipėda Youth Theater: “A-Ū,” a play for babies (directed by E. Šimelionė)

19 November 2026 11:00

Premiere – “A-Ū!”, a musical performance for babies

The musical performance for babies, “A-Ū!”, is an experiential journey through the theater for the very youngest audience members (6–24 months). The show invites parents and their little ones to immerse themselves in the gentle atmosphere of the forest: meet a fox, a bird, a hedgehog, and mysterious fireflies; listen to their songs; and discover how the forest changes from day to night.

The performance is designed to stimulate all of the baby’s senses—hearing, sight, and touch—encourage emotional expression, strengthen the bond between parents and children, and foster a child’s first encounter with the theater. It is a safe, cozy, and aesthetically pleasing first introduction to the performing arts.

The music for the performance is composed by Gytis Šimelionis, and the program also features live performances of classical pieces—Edvard Grieg’s “Morning” and Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata.”

“Early artistic experiences, participation in cultural activities with the family, the quality of artistic events experienced, and the attendance habits formed in childhood continue into adulthood and become the driving force behind adults’ engagement in the arts and culture” (Elsley, McMellon 2010: 19–20).

Director – Evelina Šimelionė
Composer – Gytis Šimelionis
Starring KJT actors: Rugilė Latvėnaitė, Vaiva Kvedaravičiūtė, Aurimas Bareikis, and Laima Akstinaitė.
