The multi-media performance "Patterns of Light" will tell a contemporary story about where modern Latvians find strength, and about the cultural breath that Latvians receive from the previous generations. The work will translate the past into a performative present that is performed for future generations. "Patterns of Light" is dedicated to the next century in Latvia and to the people who will live during the next 100 years. The performance creates a multicultural environment that brings together traditional Latvian lore in the light of traditions and folklore, but also an open and global cultural space that includes art in the broadest sense of the word. In musical, spatial, and content terms, a vivid world is created in which the main role is played by Latvia's environment and the way in which people perceive and live with it.
