WE FALL IN LOVE with iconic buildings for its own unique light, architecture, spacial energy, surroundings, history and not least a soul that inspires. Hence comes our artwork.
IN 2018-2021 we have successfully created and realized productions in Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, in several iconic buildings: Kulturtårnet on Knippelsbro in Copenhagen, Horse riding Arena of Zagare Manor in Lithuania during Zagare Fringe Festival, Historical Riga Circus building and Sigulda New Castle Complex in Latvia. Each of these projects had a different format, engaging audiences in the magical world of SET SOUND TO storytelling.
IN 2020-2021 we created a short film SET SOUND TO CAN LIS, that is dedicated and inspired by Jørn Utzon’s world famous architecture.
IN 2020 we initiated a project dedicated to Nordic lighthouses and coastal culture, starting from Skrova Lighthouse in Arctic Norway (Summer 2020) and following up with creative residencies in Denmark in The North Atlantic Lighthouse in Hanstholm (Spring 2021) and continuing to Latvia (Summer 2021 and 2023) with creative residencies exploring lighthouses on the Baltic coastline.
