eight interstellar travelers /
follow us / back and through /
first day one, then day two /
stones of power / shrines of love /
step out of doubt / breathe in, breath out /
triturations & elixirs / ease, erase /
dine with us / leaving time and space /
maybe no, maybe so / cast a spell / come together /
we, the fabric / open a vortex / we the waves, are transformed /
and maybe again / undo the knots / relieve the tightness we discovered long ago /
thanks to the keen hospitality / of the spirits of the space /
we'll forget our qualms / discover our grace /
here we are / smiling beside you

This year, in response to observations and current affairs, the festival will focus on the acupuncture of society, viewing our modern-day society as a body and searching for and locating its most painful points. Organized by the Latvian Center for Contemporary Art.
