“I have really liked since the days of” Totaldobže “that in one evening different genres, different fields are represented – music, contemporary dance, poetry, visual art,” admitted Lielgalvis.
Thus, one evening the spectator can get an exercise for their various senses, which will remain in the memory and maybe change something a bit in the person, so we will organize “Contemporary Wednesdays” so that one evening there will be a music concert and a contemporary dance or poetry show, plus you will also be able to see works of visual art. We want there to be no breaks, it is not a seasonal project, but every Wednesday in the quarter of Tallinas Street there are these events. We just want to establish a new place in Riga that people know about – if you are interested in contemporary art, music, dance, you can come safely on Wednesday, and there will always be a quality offer. The program is currently planned until the end of September, ”said Lielgalvis.
