A brilliant trio of Estonian artists return to Riga to talk about learning.
How to hammer nails into wood.
How to learn to speak.
How to open a door.
How to show empathy.
How to correctly pull on a sock and get rid of all the suffering caused by guilt.
Learning is something that begins as an embryo and continues for decades until our molecules dissolve into non-existence. We are not born human; we learn to become so. We learn how to turn our obscure biological construct of cells into a human being. Pouring the foundation. Expressing love. Breathing correctly while giving birth and maintaining our dignity while dying.
Three middle-aged men self-consciously and ironically invite us to this work – “Come in, we know all about it…”
