Although the residents of Klaipėda were urged not to go to the Theater Square on Saturday evening, where the city’s Christmas tree will be lit, because there will be no action here, which was transferred to the broadcast, they were not yet missing participants.
This year, the traditional lighting ceremony was replaced by a half-hour online concert and Balticum TV’s “Christmas is coming to Klaipeda” this year due to the quarantine, connecting four capitals: Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, Kaunas, the temporary capital, Neringa, the future European Capital of Culture and Klaipeda, the future European Capital of Youth. .
Not only the fir tree donated by Jankauskas from Klaipėda who lives on Liepojos Street, but also the installation of the North Star, which will be available until January 6, illuminated the theater square.
The Christmas tree was already lit 17 hours ago, so those who arrived at that time did not even see the moment of lighting. Three teams of police stood at the entrances to the plaza, officers patrolled the plaza itself, and a loudspeaker from the loudspeaker kept reminding the police not to demonstrate and other recommendations.
From Saturday evening, all Klaipeda lovers are invited to visit the interactive cognitive website www.klaipedoszvaigzderakciai.lt.
The idea of ”Klaipėdosvaigždėrakčiai” originated in order to draw the attention of citizens and visitors who came to the city about the multi-layered historical nature of Klaipėda and the footprints left by famous and undeservedly forgotten personalities, “says Inga Norkūnienė, co-author and curator of Klaipėdos Žvaigždėrak.
A couple more virtual events are planned for the celebrations, on December 19. 5 pm The portal lrt.lt has the premiere of the performance of the Klaipeda Theater Studio “Dulidu”, filmed in the reconstructed Hotel “Victoria”. The representation of the video is based on the famous “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens, uses media from different times and the images that are transmitted in it evoke memories of the past, allow to see the images of Christmas today from abroad and fantasize about what Christmas is waiting for.
Lithuanian Business College’s traditional Christmas race will also be virtual this year: participants will run individually with a mobile app that will record the time of runners, and participants will provide photos to organizers.
