RIVER (2021)
The documentary performance - walk „River” is a journey through stories about the interaction between people, things and nature, sometimes fragile, unpredictable, bound by longing, trials and discoveries. The performance was inspired by personal stories of the inhabitants of Liepāja and its urban landscapes. The work impulse was caused by the idea of the impossibility of solitude because each of us is in a never-ending relationship with everything that surrounds us; even though we barely notice each other’s presence, we continue the endless flow of these relationships.
Work was nominated for the Latvian Theater Prize “Spelmaņu nakts 2020/2021”.
