Preparations for the FLUXUS festival in Kaunas have centered on both theatrical performances and interactive urban exploration. Director Aleksandras Špilevojus is set to lead a major event titled ‘Big Explosion’ on September 19, beginning in Jurgio Mačiūno Square. Špilevojus has indicated that the festival offers an opportunity to embrace improvisation and “blur the boundaries between art and life.”

In conjunction with the festival, the agency ‘Kaunas IN’ launched an interactive route called ‘Kaunas as a Game’. Developed with the Kaunas Art Gallery and the Kaunas Artists' House, the 15-stop guide explores the history of Jurgis Mačiūnas, the father of the Fluxus movement. The route utilizes illustrations by Gita Balžekaitė and provides visitors with ‘scores’ to encourage creative thinking at various historical sites.
