Latvia participates at the\u00a0Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space 2015 with two expositions in the national and student section. Author of the national exhibition entitled “Submission” is director and set designer Vladislavs Nastav\u0161evs. His exhibit features the set of the performance “Miss Julie” staged by Nastav\u0161evs in Valmiera Theatre in 2012, where he continues to explore the tension between human longing for the system to obey and the inability to resist and control the instincts awaken by the outside force. The set requires continuous interaction with performers to become a living creature that embodies equilibrium, tension and collapse. \u00a0The directorial debut of Nastav\u0161evs on Latvian stage in 2010 marked a new relationship between the linguistic\u00a0linguistic and visual forms of the performance. This tension became the dominant force in his work and challenged the tradition of Latvian scenography. It seems that the director, stage designer and musician inhabiting Nastav\u0161evs, compete with each other for the leadership in his work. Fortunately, in the end, the winner turns out to be each one of them. Nastav\u0161evs takes great care of the production as an integrated art work where the space is shared equally by the performers, set, sound and light. By minimal, yet effective means the director turns empty, unaltered stages into imaginary rooms, where all relative constraints have to fall.<\/p>\n
The student exhibition made by students of the Scenography Department at the Art Academy of Latvia under the guidance of professor Andris Freibergs\u00a0will feature the creative path of young artists starting from the very first tasks of the first year of the batchelor’s programme and ending with\u00a0the MA graduation works. The authors of the exhibits are\u00a0M\u0101ra Broka, Anna Ansone, L\u012bva Pu\u013c\u0137e, Svens Kuzmins, Ein\u0101rs Timma, Dace Pud\u0101ne, Gerda \u0160adurska, Liene Pavlovska, R\u016bdolfs Balti\u0146\u0161, Evija Pint\u0101ne and\u00a0Reinis Dzudzilo.<\/p>\n
