It is an interdisciplinary project aimed at creating a unifying narrative for Kaunas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The creation of the Beast and its story involves citizens of all ages and of all walks of life and creates participatory experience for people from near and far away. The Mythical Beast of Kaunas will become an avatar or allegory for the City, where the Beast = Kaunas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">We see the concept of the Mythical Beast as the guardian of the City. It appears from ruins of the castle, from dungeons of the wartime fortifications, from fairy tales and anecdotes, from underneath the two rivers and enters our reality with street theatre performances, comic books for children, a steampunk novel, a movie, a TV show, mass celebrations and rumours of all things supernatural. It embodies and thus explains cultural, identity conflicts and contradictions we used to have and still have.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-lxmt&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;4&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;4&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; el_class=&#8221;inverted-device-order&#8221;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;81474&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;one-one&#8221; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_horizontal=&#8221;left&#8221; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;4&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_size=&#8221;fontsize-155944&#8243; subheading=&#8221;The Mythical Beast of Kaunas and its story is precisely a story about those Kaunasians.
