Išgyvenimo Drama is located near Vilnius Lithuania, and was once a Soviet bunker that was used to protect a television transmitter and served as a secure post for troops. All actors involved in the re-enactment project were either once in the Soviet army or actual interrogators. There are, however, less intense performances geared towards students and children.
