Programme

Life of My Belongings

Kristīne Brīniņa (Cīrava)
5, 6 September 19:00, Zirgu Pasts | 10 and 7 Eur

We possess things reminding us about different encounters, events, actions. Is it a trash or a source of worthwhile information?

In her new solo piece Kristīne Brīniņa presents her belongings unfolding their meaning and value. The inventory of personal things raises question about the relationship between private and public and reveals tension between the need to possess and the satisfaction your possessions actually give.

The performance is commissioned by the festival with the support of [DNA] Departures and Arrivals and EU programme Creative Europe.
