With English subtitles.

Premiere Feb.11 at 7 p.m.
11 performances from Feb.13 to June 1.

Jimi Tenor

The talented Finnish musician should feel right at home in the quirky surroundings of the Soviet-era Pergale Cinema (7 Pamenkalnio St., Vilnius). Known as much for his outrageous taste in clothes as his wonderfully catchy and leftfield music, Tenor is a true entertainer and genre busting maverick.

Fri. 25 's 8 p.m.
