How long would you be able to stand up for another person’s life? Lithuania has over 500 people waiting for a donated organ every single day. They don’t know whether they’ll make it. They don’t even know if the possibility to get what they desperately need is real.

​

For one day, railway stations in Vilnius and Kaunas hosted people who wanted to stand still and experience the emotional state of such waiting. A symbolic 24-hour performance had some participants standing for an hour, and some stayed for the whole time, raising awareness about the importance of organ donation.

​

Hundreds of people stood for a total of 1,200 hours. The performance, along with the ad campaign and a sensitive video clip by director Kristina Buožytė provoked various discussions about the topic. There were over 800 stories in the media, and the number of donor cards went up 500%, reaching the country’s all-time high.
