Programme curator
Homo Novus is a disruption, an irritation of our everyday. The boundary of our curiosity expanded.
Ieva Briede
Producer
In times when everything circulates around money and selfishness it’s not only pleasant but also extremely important to get lost in arts to understand that there is something more important and human than that.
Sandra Lapkovska
Producer
Homo Novus discovered the world full of surprises and I want to show that to others, too.
Santa Remere
Producer
Homo Novus can shake and change the perspective, it can even hurt and leave thoughtful for a very long time. This experience is deeply individual and collective, at the same time.
Artis Tauriņš
Designer
That feeling of having peeped into one of many other reality layers to unplug from the everyday environment for a while. Homo Novus can give you just that.
JĀNIS LINIŅŠ
Technical director
There is a community based on love and faith for theatre that brings festival organisers, participants and spectators together. In Latvia, one such community is emerging around Homo Novus, and I want to be a part of it.
Anna Dārziņa
Administrative director
Homo Novus is the firstborn of ours – mine and contemporary theater, the one to take care of, cherish, admire and be proud of.
Dita Birkenšteina
Producer
To me, Homo Novus is an endless exercise of mind and senses to be experienced through the universal language of the body.
Elza Strazdiņa
Festival centre coordinator
Although this is only my second Homo Novus Festival, I feel like I’ve been here forever. A festival you can’t say no to.
Diāna Ponaskova
Volunteer coordinator
Homo Novus Festival is a crossroads of diversity and openness, where one can seek and discover, create and obtain the synergy of art that had not been fully grasped before.
Anna Zagorska
Producer
For more than ten years now, my paths have been crossing with this festival, and I am still fascinated by how changing and different are the points of view, from which it is possible to reflect on the world and the people in it. That is why Homo Novus Festival is worthy of its name, because every time it challenges and inspires to look for the “new man” in yourself.
Elīza Aizpore
Communication
Homo Novus is about everything. About what surrounds us, what we recognize and also what remains unsaid. Homo Novus requires no prior knowledge or preparation. Everyone is always welcome to understand and perceive what is relevant to them. Or not to understand anything and enjoy the diversity of art.
Lauma Gailīte
Hospitality Coordinator
Theatre is like a collective therapy session – one’s chance to live through pain, cry, laugh, explore and inquire. A civilisation cannot exist without theatre. In my eyes, Homo Novus is a buffet where you can choose which mental cockroaches you want to poke at.
