Anatomy of Dance, Kaktiņš Stūrītis
RETURN
“Return” is a story based on a human being’s mythical thinking about trust and doubt that take over in the moment when faith into yourself and confidence is not strong enough. The starting point is the chance to return. The performance is a collaboration together with the musical union “Kaktiņš Stūrītis”. The impulse of the performance can be found in the ancient greek myth about Ororpheus und Eurydike.

Dance critic Maija Uzule Petrovska: ”This is certainly a respectable artistic performance, full-length contemporary dance performance, this is the last season of the show in contemporary dance. It is a very interesting part of the overall season, I think – a good point that allows us to talk about the fact that there is a contemporary dance in Latvia. It is manifold both in terms of form and in terms of volume, a hopeful view of the future.”
Performance: 16th of November, 20.00 at VEF Culture palace (Ropažu 2). "Return" is nominated for the annual Theatre of the Year Award “Spēlmaņu nakts 2015” category "Contemporary dance achievement of the year".
