Programme

Tree Opera. The City.

Anna Ķirse, Andris Kalnozols
6, 7 September 22.00, Faculty of Physics, Mathematics and Optomtry, Zeļļu st. 25 | Free entrance

The opening event of this year’s festival – a miniature opera by a multi-disciplinary Latvian team comprised of composer Anna Ķirse, director and playwright Andris Kalnozols, visual artist Andris Eglītis and architect Austris Mailītis is staged in the tree tops of Riga and invites us to imagine the life of trees from their own perspective.
What would trees have to say if they could speak? Would they complain about the cramped space we leave for their roots or the destruction of their habitat with urban expansion? Most probably, however, they would have nothing to say to us, as they grow high and old – living with their own dialogues and dramas and leaving us in their shadow down below.
