The scenography stayed at the Latvian National Opera House on June 21st and it was part of Riga 2014 cultural capital “Riga Festival” program.

The dance concert "Music, Dance, Adventure!" is a new understanding of contemporary scenography. Scenography by Didzis Jaunzems Architecture is no anymore seen as a stage decoration but rather as a tool for the creation of various spatial situations. The stage space of the opera 10m X 10m X 10m has been divided into the smallest basic elements. The very flexible outcome mass now can be used to create various space scenarios for specific dance performances. The space can stay homogeneous mass (Base), it can become open from two sides (Curtain), contain one central element (Tree) or several - distributed (Forest), etc. The vertical elements are made of translucent plastic tubes with a total length of about 10.00 m. They suck in the light and scatter it homogeneously along all their length.
