Residency: Liepāja concert hall “Great Amber”

Elīna Lutce, Rósa Ómarsdóttir and Mira Kautto first met in May during a residency oragnized by New Theatre Institute of Latvia in Liepāja concert hall. In Riga, the three young choreographers will further explore their common interest in a different definition of space – one which is not colonized, mapped and made of use, but rather is experienced as heterogenous, excessive, imperceptible, in other words, feminine.

“Spaces of Becoming” is a piece in three solo episodes – each artist will present an individual work and will take spectators to one of the peripheric spaces of Smiļģis museum. Encounters with time, space, plants, darkness and ghosts delivered by three charismatic performers.

International Festival of Contemporary Theatre "Homo Novus" is the leading performing arts festival in Latvia and one of the biggest in the Baltic region. Festival takes place in Riga from September 6 till 12, 2018 and introduces audiences to both new and renowned artists that seek ways of expressing their views and opinions about the world and the society. Festival offers a range of performances as well as seminars, workshops and other activities.
