To mark the 30th anniversary of the International Festival of Contemporary Theatre Homo Novus<\/em>, a bilingual volume \u2013 Homo Novus gr\u0101mata \/ The Book of Homo Novus<\/em><\/a> \u2013 has been published in collaboration with Neputns<\/em> Publishing House. The book can be purchased at the New Theatre Institute of Latvia office at Miera iela 39-2 (by writing to contact@theatre.lv or calling (+371) 26186631) or at the Neputns<\/em> Publishing House gallery at T\u0113rbatas iela 49\/51, www.neputns.lv<\/a>. Price \u2013 30 euros.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Book launch \u2014 December 15 at 6 p.m. at the Gallery “Istaba”, K.Barona iela 31b, Riga.<\/strong><\/p>\n This bilingual publication brings together over 50 contributors \u2014 artists, creators and participants of the festival \u2014 who offer personal memories of Homo Novus<\/em>, outline important theoretical themes, and envision the future of theatre in visual form.<\/p>\n Since its founding in 1995, International Festival of Contemporary Theatre Homo Novus<\/em>\u00a0has reshaped the course of theatre development and fostered a vibrant environment for international exchange within our theatre community. The Book of Homo Novus<\/em> reflects on these achievements, gathering together the initiatives and ideas the festival has launched and continues to nurture within theatre and the wider field of contemporary art.<\/p>\n This book is not a memoir inviting readers to revel in past accomplishments. Rather, it positions three decades of experience as a lens through which to consider future trajectories. The interdisciplinary and international nature of Homo Novus<\/em> has enabled Latvia and the Latvian language to enter broader dialogues on contemporary theatre and festival culture. The book addresses, among other themes, the festival\u2019s role in the development of new theatrical languages, spaces, and audiences, as well as the ethical dimensions of theatre-making \u2014 subjects that have thus far been only marginally examined within Latvian cultural discourse.<\/p>\n This book brings together trends and creative paradigms that have, for various reasons, remained absent from existing publications on the history of modern Latvian theatre, where structure and emphasis are largely shaped by the dominant repertoire-theatre system.<\/p>\n It enriches Latvian-language theatre research terminology and maps the wider context in which contemporary performing arts take shape. The Book of Homo Novus<\/em> includes previously unpublished texts and visual materials that look forward rather than back. In addition to theoretical discussion, the volume incorporates the festival\u2019s quantitative and emotional archive \u2014 its testimonies, stories, and geographical\u00a0trajectory.<\/p>\n Compiled and edited by: Gundega Laivi\u0146a The book is published with the support of the State Culture Capital Foundation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To mark the 30th anniversary of the International Festival of Contemporary Theatre Homo Novus, a bilingual volume \u2013 Homo Novus gr\u0101mata \/ The Book of Homo Novus \u2013 has been published in collaboration with Neputns Publishing House.
