This LAB is based on one thing, which is trust.

Pierre Jodlowski

LAB'24 mentor

Kosmos LAB is one of the most meaningful projects for us; its value cannot be measured in words or numbers. Many workshop participants have continued to explore these ideas in their own creative work.

Žilvinas Vingelis

Director

It’s rare to find an organisation so open. Maybe it’s a shot to discover potential.

“Cie Mossoux-Bonté”

LAB'25 mentors

Professionals from different artistic fields together can have a dialogue here. Sharing know-how and experience between different disciplines is very favourable for the development of theatre.

Duda Paiva

LAB'19 mentor

We are in the world where adaptation is one of the keywords. We can move a lot, but therefore we need to adapt. So this LAB really prepares us for this adaptation.

Pierre Jodlowski

LAB'24 mentor

It’s a real potential. Open to do things that go further than the world.

“Cie Mossoux-Bonté”

LAB'25 mentors

It’s my first time here (in Lithuania) and I’m discovering a wonderful city, a wonderful atmosphere, wonderful people… so why not keep going with this as much as you can?

Pierre Jodlowski

LAB'24 mentor

The new generation of artists is promising, but they need a stronger foundation and opportunities to grow, innovate, and share culture with one another.

Duda Paiva

LAB'19 mentor

Beyond the theatre, beyond the technology that we are using, beyond the artistic aim, the pedagogical aim – there is an encounter. I hope that we will never replace the human encounter.

Pierre Jodlowski

LAB'24 mentor

We are looking for strange atmospheres between theatre and dance, and also deep in irrational thinking.

“Cie Mossoux-Bonté”

LAB'25 mentors

We must see light art as a separate field of art that needs to be studied.

Žilvinas Vingelis

Director

This is something so exciting because then you blend dance and you blend feet and it goes in a surreal way of thinking.
