Choreographies for “The School of Magical Animals”
Our choreographers Luka Putniņa and Jānis Putniņš are currently in Berlin and at other filming locations across Germany. Together with the young actors, they are developing the choreographies for the fifth instalment of the feature-film series “The School of Magical Animals.”
25 & 26 September | Kavall – INMITTEN
On 25 and 26 September at 8:30 pm, Kavall presents the immersive concert INMITTEN. Doors open at 7:30 pm.
The audience is positioned at the centre of a spatial composition. Sequences of sounds, patterns and sonic textures move through a hexagon of sound and light. Specially developed instruments and electronic sound design combine with spatial choreography to create a concert format somewhere between live performance and audiovisual installation.
