Performance by Iveta Pole
Actress Iveta Pole in collaboration with director Kristīne Vītola and composer and pianist Rūdolfs Macats presented a selection of news stories accompanied by improvised music. Starting from the beginning of the previous century to today, the performance shed light on the influence of various significant turning points in history on the flows of human migration. Tracing changes both in the geopolitical map of the world and the individual destinies, the long and at times monotonously sequenced flow of information lets the words become separated from their original meaning, uncovering the manipulative mechanisms of the media and accumulating doubt about the truthfulness of news.
