Text description provided by the architects
Limited project information is available for this entry. Both Sides is a 2018 multimedia dance performance created as the culminating event of Latvia's centenary celebrations. Through music, choreography, scenography, video, and light projections, the work tells the story of Latvia's emergence as a nation and the collective experience of the past hundred years, tracing the country from its first period of independence through occupation, exile, and the restoration of sovereignty. The stage covers an area of 2,000 square meters, making it a large-scale outdoor theatrical production designed to reach a broad public audience rather than a conventional proscenium-theater audience. Based on the existing English source and the title, the project appears to be a performance and stage-design work rather than a conventional architectural, landscape, or interior commission, and no further factual details about the design team, venue, choreographer, composer, or spatial program are available in the source material. The title Both Sides suggests a dual narrative structure, likely contrasting two historical periods, two communities, or two sides of the national story, but this remains an inference from the title alone and should not be treated as verified project information. Project details are limited in the source material.
