From 6 PM to 12 AM in Nasrėnai, at the Bishop’s birthplace homestead, there will be light, sound, and visual graphics installations “The Beginning of Beginnings. For Eternity.” The installations will newly reveal an authentic granary, the monument will be highlighted in the light, and the artistic journey will symbolically lead to the main mystery space – the Church of St. Lawrence on Kalnalis. The same evening, the mystery “Symphony of Light and Faith” will be shown twice – at 7 PM and 9 PM. Participation in the event is free, but the number of seats in the church is limited, so advance registration is required. The registration link will be published on the Kretinga District Cultural Center’s Facebook page.

Historical Memory – The Language of Contemporary Art
The author and director of the mystery, Nerijus Gedminas, aims to combine different art genres, professional and amateur performers, traditional forms, and contemporary artistic expression tools into a unified stage event. At the center is the creative legacy of M. K. Valančius and the moral values he nurtured, viewed through the eyes of today’s person. Actor Linas Lukošius will act as a guide through time: maintaining the observer’s position, he will help the audience look from the outside at the most important works and ideas of M. K. Valančius and rethink their significance today.
The video projections of the mystery by Aurėja Jucevičiūtė will become an important part of the stage event, combining music, theater, and dance into a unified artistic whole.
The musical part of the mystery will consist of the “Missa brevis” by Dutch composer Jacob de Haan, performed by a joint choir. The clear melodic lines and traditional harmony of the piece will gain new colors, blending with the sound of wind instruments, the timbre of the organ, ambient musical sounds, dance, and theatrical expression.
The creative project involves the Klaipėda Concert Hall brass quintet, led by Sigitas Petrulis, multi-instrumentalist Donatas Bielkauskas, and sound designer Kristijonas Lučinskas. The organ part will be performed by Aušra Valentienė, concertmaster of the Klaipėda Concert Hall choir “Aukuras.” The language of dance will complement the mystery with students from the Dance Department of the Klaipėda Faculty of the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre, led by Darius Berulis. A special role in the work will be given to the choirs – the Klaipėda Concert Hall choir “Aukuras,” led by Tomas Ambrozaitis, the Kretinga District Cultural Center chamber choir “Kristalas,” led by Kristina Rimienė, as well as actors from Egidijus Radžius’ theater and young participants of the Cultural Center’s groups. The mystery will be conducted by Tomas Ambrozaitis.
The project is funded by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania, the Lithuanian Council for Culture, and the Kretinga District Municipality
