The central event of Cesis Capital of Culture will be the Great Show Clay / Day

Clay There is a story of material diversity, variability and presence in human life – from antiquity to the present, from the depths of the earth to the stars. It calls for an adventure on the clay path – from the Devon valleys and ancient clay pledge writings to the contemporary manifestation of art in the form of a concert performance. Clay is captivating and tempting! From the watery material, when it touches the water, to the hard and fragile when it is dried by the sun or burns on fire. From clay, the pizza in the child’s hands, to the roof of Dagstins, which reflects the stars.

Music, dance, visual arts and crafts will blend into the big performance. Viewers will hear clay marimbas, wind paves, whistleblowers and industrial sounds where Gram and Latvian Voices This special atmosphere with voices and rhythm will complement. The choir chants will be bricked with brick stacking stomp Ethes, dance patterns will be permeated by the formula of the clay molecule, but scenography and video visualization will allow you to get into both Bullets Factories in the urban environment and the sensual experience created by craftsmen.

Not only will the participants sing and dance in preparation for the concert performance, but they will also make clay musical instruments, create clay jewelry, enjoy its healing qualities and learn about its history and nature.

Clay There will also be a striking testimony to the high skills of the Cesis County amateur art groups, showing their ability to be equivalent to professional artists. In this event, where different art forms and era converge, amateur and professional cooperation will become a uniform creative power that creates a unique stage experience and demonstrates the quality of cultural life of Cesis County.

Clay There is a tribute to the land of Latvia, the man and the miracle of creation. It is a contemporary cultural experience in which era, historical testimony, geology and human creative spirit meet.

Tells that God created a man of clay. The man baked bread in the clay oven, drank a water firewood from the clay mug and warmed to the clay tile stove. He walked through the clay clone, brought the house from the bricks, and put the roof from the clay tile. Clay – came from the depths of the earth until the sky climbed!
