You're In Business

The project represents a legitimate cultural organization, the 'Lithuanian Theatre Information Centre' (TIC), founded in 2020 to promote Lithuanian theatre abroad. Verifiable evidence confirms its existence, international partnerships (e.g., GLEN network), and recent activities (Focus Lituanie in Paris, 2024). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'marketcap: 2500000') and likely submitted by a third party or bot ('ShadowShade'). While the organization has genuine utility within its niche, the project lacks technical innovation, and the submission's poor quality heavily penalizes the score.

Project Details

Description
Theatre Information Centre (TIC) is a public organization with the main purpose of presenting Lithuanian theatre abroad, as well as bringing international theatre in Lithuania, encouraging mobility and internationality of theatre artists, strengthening the reputation of Lithuanian theatre all around the world. Another important field of concern for TIC is gathering all theatre-related data and information, presenting it to both Lithuanian and foreign audience. The name of the organization itself implies an intention to become the source of information regarding theatre, artists, performances, history, statistics, management, technical parameters and educational material for interested parties – foreign producers, organizers of guest performances, coproducers, foreign festivals, critics, representatives of creative residencies and so on. TIC is a rather new organization on Lithuanian cultural stage, founded in 2020 in order to represent Lithuanian theatre abroad and to encourage its internationality, taking a lead from such successful partners as Lithuanian Dance Information Centre (link) and Lithuanian Music Information Centre (link). On an international scale TIC has been closely cooperating and drawing valuable insights from Theatre Info Finland (tinfo.fi). As an organization TIC is interested in any activities analysing theatre as a phenomenon from various angles: philosophical, historical, economical and social aspects of a theatre; theatre as a geopolitical platform, theatre as a performance, theatre as an industry.
