Reconciliation

The musical memory trail, which connects the Museum, the Ninth Fort and the Monument, invites you to take a walk and experience the emotional transformation of the noise of the past — to feel the cultural traumas caused by the dramatic political changes of the 20th century. The symbolic buzzes of the World Wars, totalitarian regimes and crimes against humanity encourage to imagine a person in an insecure buzzing environment. The audio composition reveals the invisible emotional load of the Kaunas Ninth Fort Memorial Complex as a historical and memorial place. Noisy, intense and intermittent sounds ultimately seek harmony, stimulate the reflection on society’s relationship with history, and lead to the recognition and reconciliation of historical traumas.
