SERIAL KILLERS - Part 2. Ruta Treija's Criminology Lecture-Performance

What happens in the human mind when the line between evil and unimaginable cruelty no longer exists?

On January 22, criminology lecturer Ruta Treija will return to Pegaza Viesistaba with her special criminology lecture-performance “Serial Killers - Part 2” - an evening where the dark side of the human mind meets science, history, and black humor.

This is not an ordinary lecture. It is an engaging and psychologically intense experience in which real historical facts and criminals' life stories are used to try to understand what can sometimes be almost impossible to grasp.

The conversation will focus on serial killers and the darkest aspects of their crimes - sexual deviance, necrophilia, cannibalism, sadism, and other extremes of human behavior.

A special place in the lecture is also devoted to the history of the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit and its role in studying and profiling criminals whose crimes are sometimes hard to believe.

Ruta Treija's lectures stand out for their ability to present complex and difficult criminology topics not only factually, but also vividly, engagingly, and with a distinct dose of black humor. So once again, an evening is expected in which unsettling stories are interwoven with surprise, irony, and conversations that continue long after the lecture ends.

And all of this in the special atmosphere of Pegaza Viesistaba. A cozy, warm, and intimate space that creates a striking contrast to the lecture's dark content. Here, horrifying stories become an experience of conversation and discovery, rather than just frightening facts.

Warning! The lecture content is graphic and psychologically heavy, and may cause discomfort. Please critically assess your readiness to listen to such content. Recommended age: 18+

The lecture begins at 7: 00 PM. Entry from 6:00 PM.

Lecture duration: approximately

• 2.5-3 hours with a break.
