NEW THEATRE INSTITUTE OF LATVIA

contemporary performing arts in Latvia and abroad

Santarcangelo festival is one of the most known contemporary performing arts festivals in Italy. This year installation “Thirst” created by a Latvian artist Voldemars Johansons produced by New Theatre Institute of Latvia and premiered at Homo Novus 2015 festival in Riga is included in the festival’s programme.

Thirst is an audiovisual documentation of Atlantic ocean during a strong storm. The documentation of the visually and sonically expressive marine landscape was produced in the Faroe Islands as single-shot uncut registration of violent storm with a sound recording. It was shot from the position on the firm rock of the coast, so that the camera view coincides with a human point of view. The audio-visual installation invites to enter the landscape of troubled waters, wind, rain and noise and to observe and listen to it from a distance, the action impossible in the natural circumstances when admiration is replaced with fear.
