On 10 July, the fifteenth Cēsis Art Festival, dedicated to myths and rituals, was open to the public. On the opening day, the Cēsis Centre for Contemporary Art launched a vast exhibition “Flying Closer to the Sun. Myths and Rituals” showcasing seven new large-scale works by Latvian artists. Later, in Raiskumkrogs we experienced opening of exhibition “Whole” by “SEB Scholarship in Painting 2020” Laureate Madara Kvēpa. In the evening visitors could enjoy a sound and motion act “Danse macabre” (“The Dance of Death”), created by composer Edgars Mākens and artist Krišs Salmanis.


Exhibition “Flying Closer to the Sun. Myths and Rituals” introduce us with new works from renowned Latvian artists: Aija Zariņa, Miķelis Fišers, Andris Eglītis, Ģirts Muižnieks, Krista and Reinis Dzudzilo, Katrīna Neiburga and Vika Eksta.


Exhibition “Whole” in Raiskuma krogs by “SEB Scholarship in Painting 2020” Laureate Madara Kvēpa. The author focuses on the concepts of physical health and mental integrity. These ideas are covered in a series of paintings and spatial objects, taking into account last year's pandemics, as well as historical and ritual contexts.


In the evening visitors were able to enjoy sound and motion performance “Danse macabre” (“The Dance of Death”) inviting the viewers into a world of unusual soundscapes and visual effects. The puppet ballet, Death with an electric guitar, the musical saw, the mystery of sound and the burlesque of movement – just like in the olden days when the dance of death was a societal mechanism for blowing off steam. The creator of the choreography for the show is Rūdolfs Gediņš.

Really helpful information for drivers in the area. It’s important to have a reliable breakdown recovery car Romford service saved in your contacts, especially for long-distance commuters or frequent travelers.

I opened the app again after some time and tried to access my account. Took a second to find the option, then I saw the Goa Game Login and entered my details. It worked fine, no issue there. I didn’t do much after that, just checked a few things and closed it.

Suraj Portal is super exciting and fun to play! The graphics are smooth, and the gameplay keeps me engaged for hours. Definitely one of the best gaming experiences I’ve had recently.

Essentials hoodies truly stand out due to their perfect blend of comfort and modern streetwear style. I like how the minimalist design makes them easy to wear with almost any outfit. Whether it’s for a casual day out or just relaxing, they always look stylish and feel comfortable.”

Rearranging the layout of a retail store for a seasonal promotion involves moving heavy gondola shelving units. Commercial maintenance websites use 'Near Me' optimization, which makes finding daily labour work near me to assist the store staff a practical solution. Are the temporary workers insured for potential property damage if a display case is accidentally dropped during the store reset? Verifying liability coverage is a mandatory step before bringing outside workers onto the sales floor.
