With the call to “Nurture the Animal in You!”, the Contemporary Circus and Street Art Festival RE RĪGA! will kick off on August 12.
We know that humans are fragile and, at the same time, incredibly strong. Humans are among the rare animals that possess a sense of humor and self-irony. That’s why this year’s festival programme and theme explore the animalistic side of humans – the animal within us that we can tame, care for, love, and soothe. Humans are a part of nature and are subject to the same rules as all other living beings. Yet, we aspire to be the ones who can control our instincts, even when it’s difficult.
The opening night will begin with a performance by the clown Cronopio, followed by a retro-romantic concert by the band Jaunība.
Mariano Gedwillo, better known by his stage name Cronopio, is a clown, director, tightrope walker, and juggler from Argentina. Mariano’s search for a true and authentic clown character is based on the realities of life, leading him to interact with diverse audiences – rich and poor, young and old, serious and funny, interested and skeptical.
“Jaunība” is a Latvian band that just released their debut album “Daži racionāli apsvērumi” (“Some Rational Considerations”) this June. The album features 14 songs set to contemporary Latvian poetry by authors such as Inga Pizāne, Elvīra Bloma, Inga Gaile, Agnese Krivade, Agnese Rutkēviča, Henriks Eliass Zēgners, Alise Zariņa, and Marija Luīze Meļķe.
