From 19 March to 19 April, visitors to the Alytus Cultural Centre are invited to embark on a journey through the worlds of Mikolaj Konstantinas \u010ciurlionis, where art, sound and technology converge. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The experience has already left a strong impression on the Alytus community. Au\u0161ra Saulevi\u010di\u016bt\u0117, the director of the Alytus Green Choir, doesn&#8217;t hide the fact that the experience has left a strong impression. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This is a work of genius, of indescribable beauty. For me, this is the most beautiful journey I have ever been on.

More than half a million people in Lithuania and abroad have already experienced the Trail of Angels. Visitors often speak of the inner peace, concentration and even emotional turmoil that this journey through the artist&#8217;s emblematic paintings brings.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creation of the Worlds, on the other hand, invites the viewer to embark on an even more active journey, where the viewer becomes a participant, able to interact with the environment. More than 150,000 people have already tried this experience, it has been presented in dozens of Lithuanian cities and has received international acclaim.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"756\" src=\"https:\/\/angelutakais.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Untitled-design-40-2-1024x756.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-651094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angelutakais.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-design-40-2-1024x756.png 1024w, https:\/\/angelutakais.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-design-40-2-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/angelutakais.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-design-40-2-768x567.png 768w, https:\/\/angelutakais.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-design-40-2-600x443.png 600w, https:\/\/angelutakais.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-design-40-2.png 1070w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Photo by the organizers.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New for visitors<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Lukas Verpetinskas, the project&#8217;s development producer, \u010ciurlionis&#8217; work is discovering new audiences through technology.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It is very gratifying that the work of M.

K. \u010ciurlionis&#8217;s work and to get even more involved in the experience.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The organisers stress that the aim of these projects is to make art accessible to as many people as possible. Therefore, both those who are just discovering M. K. \u010ciurlionis and those who have already experienced it and want to come back again are welcome. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Virtual reality experiences will be open in Alytus until 19 April. The number of places is limited, so visitors are encouraged to book their tickets in advance. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Nerijus Cesiulis pasakoja \u012fsp\u016bd\u017eius apie &quot;Pasauli\u0173 sutv\u0117rimas&quot; patirt\u012f\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u9jIzUNCxgo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alytus has opened the doors to one of the most spectacular cultural experiences of recent years &#8211; the virtual reality journeys &#8220;Trail of Angels&#8221; and &#8220;Creation of the Worlds&#8221;.
