In 1984 a group of architects in Kaunas, Lithuania, decided to form a band as a New Year’s joke. What started as a jape would soon become a “singing revolution”: The new, exciting rock band “Antis”. Impressive make-up and thrilling backdrops, stylized stage shows and song texts all came together as a caricature of Soviet propaganda, mocking the absurdity of Soviet reality in its pure form.
