The “Trail of Angels” film by Kristina Buožytė, is a work of virtual reality animation presenting the creative legacy of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, a pathfinder of interdisciplinary art and one of the pioneers of abstract art in Europe.

To the sounds of music by Čiurlionis and Mindaugas Urbaitis, the three-dimensional space opens with the viewer's introduction to 60 of the artist's paintings – those rarely seen or perfectly recognisable. The storyline, connecting the artist's oeuvre and the characters of his artworks, presents the magical world created by Čiurlionis, the characters who inhabit it, and their environment. Starting the journey as a human being, the viewer will soon realise that he or she is part of the artwork, a character who has acquired wings and is looking down on the world from above. The dissolved boundaries of the world, one‘s feet sinking into a bed of mist and fog, the lights glimmering somewhere in the distance, and the all-seeing gaze powerfully convey the subtleties of this extraordinary world: the viewer's body dissolves as if it were part of the life of angels. This is a project that has captivated many.

“What a qualitative and respectful approach the creative team has used to the legacy of M. K. Čiurlionis! The world they have created simply radiates: not only with Čiurlionis' colours and brushstrokes, but also with a certain Čiurlionis spirit. “The Trail of Angels” have surpassed my expectations, I‘ve become a fan and I feel happy – there should be more of such angels”, says Rokas Zubovas, pianist and director of the M. K. Čiurlionis House.

The journey through the works of M. K. Čiurlionis continues – we invite you to the second, more technically advanced and even more profound virtual reality experience, “Creation of the Worlds”:

The fusion of painting and music allows the viewer to be fully immersed in the universe of this unique artist. Starting the journey as an observer of the world being created, the viewer not only becomes a part of it, but also an active co-creator and preserver.

Archaic myths awaken, civilisations are born, human spiritual maturity grows, the divinity of creation unfolds through new beginnings.

You will experience works by M. K. Čiurlionis from the cycles “The Creation of the World”, “The City”, “The Deluge”, “Fantasies”, “The Serpent’s Sonata”, the triptych “The Fairy Tale”, and the highly anticipated “The Fairy Tale of Kings”.

Immerse yourself in the music of M. K. Čiurlionis as interpreted by composers Rokas Zubovas and Phil Von.

After the experience, the visitors are welcomed to continue their acquaintance with Čiurlionis' oeuvre by visiting the renovated M. K. Čiurlionis Memorial Room, where he lived and worked in 1907 to 1908.
