Allan gives lecture: Are Danes really funny?

The Nordic Council of Ministers Office in Lithuania invited Oval’s Creative Director, Allan, to give a lecture on the theme “Danish Humour”.
Why are Danish films so popular in Lithuania? Why do Lithuanians relate to Danish humour? How come Danish humour is often ironic, sarcastic or makes direct fun of minorities or taboos?
Approximately 50 people participated and the lecture and lead to a live TV interview on Lithuanian National TV’s morning program Labas Rytas. The lecture caught the news portal Alfa.lt’s interest that brought an in depth interview on the topic “A Dane living in Lithuania: Lithuanian’s believe the grass is greener on the other side”

The lecture was the first in 2011 of Nordic Council of Minister’s Office in Lithuania’s monthly events “Second Tuesday”
