Description

Hide description

Here in Riga, in a seemingly unexpected place, a carefully crafted performance, perfected through time and continued
from generation to generation, is happening non-stop. The everyday and the performative are inseparable and merge into each other. Constant movement alternates with an all encompassing stillness, day with night, water with earth, youth with maturity, the accidental with the planned, nature with man. And the question remains unanswered: what is staged and what is not?
