It is September. Signe and Andrew return to Karosta to make connections..
Making an exhibition and a concert at Gallery 'K. Māksla' - creating a balance - with something to see, hear and to touch.
Interweaving the relationships between two places, the gallery is already partitioned into two spaces by a central wall, so it does not block the spoken words mingling both in Latvian and English.
On one side, the summer sunshine of Karosta with a pile of photographs from Inari..
On the other side, the Kaamos blues of Inari with a pile of photographs from Karosta.. Spread out on each surface, these were an invitation to browse by hand, imagining your own version of the story.
The space filled up at 18.00 with people sipping balzāms and nibbling piparkūkas.
But that is not all. Singers are invited for the locals, and internationals who arrive in microbuses. Making an local event, a live performance of song and storytelling.
Caspars sets up the wires, sockets, cables and microphones.. Internet connections to broadcast back to Riga and beyond.
Who are performing? In the following order..
Maija un Zanda
Suitu sievas no Jūrkalnes
Slāvu folkloras ansamblis "Voļņica"
In those days Signe spoke with a strong voice. But the morning after it was so quiet.. she almost lost it from tiredness. In the whispered voice, "So, where now?"
