Join us at the traditional festival of flavors and art, inviting you to discover and appreciate the modern, diverse, and intriguing aspects around you – in sounds, forms, conversations, and landscapes. A place where you can experience, find, and get to know OURSELVES.
MUSICAL PROGRAM:
- The Baltic Sister (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia) is an international traditional music project born in 2022 at the world music exhibition WEX in Lisbon (Portugal), where Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian singers met;
- Albaluna (Portugal) will surprise not only with its charismatic performance but will also take the listener on a journey through time between ancient and contemporary music. “Albaluna” is a musical synthesis with influences from Mediterranean cultures, including traditional Turkish, medieval Iberian, Jewish, Arabic, and Balkan music;
- DAL:UM (Korea) is a Seoul-based duo that modernly transforms Korean traditional string instruments – the gayageum (Ha Sujean) and geomungo (Hwang Hyeyoung);
- Nika Ganga (Lithuania) is strong yet gentle energy. Pure sound, intelligently light poetry, and a gentle attitude towards everything that surrounds us;
- Autobuss Debesīs (Latvia) a Latvian pop-rock band.
PERFORMANCES:
- “Čurļonis” musical performance in paintings. The performance brings together symbolists from two different eras: small prose poems by French poet and prose writer Charles Baudelaire from the book “Paris Spleen” and the painting sonatas of Lithuanian composer and painter M. K. Čurļonis;
- Mechanical puppet theater “Kuthi” (Estonia). The show resembles a large mechanical castle with 80 wooden marionettes inside, each with its own character, story, and mechanism;
- Contemporary dance performance “In the Network of Mycelia”. Two dancers and a musician take the audience on a dreamy journey into the world of fungi through sound, movement, and dance language.
