It was devoted to a presentation of a wide spectrum of languages used all around Europe as well as in Iceland. Café lingua took place under the patronage of City Library of Gerðuberg, School and Leisure Department of Reykjavík and Móðurmál.
It started with the Lithuanian children’s choir that sang and taught visitors a traditional Lithuanian song. After that, a new Polish theatre group Pleikhús presented some toughest Polish tongue-twisters with a lot of humour. In the end, children and all guests were amused by the performance of magician Einar the Unique.
