Upcoming Events in August 2022: Depeche Mode Concert, Misha Maiskis Performance, Liepāja Symphony Orchestra, and More

Show. On Sunday, August 6, the Tallinn Song Festival stage will host English bands Depeche Mode world tours Memento Mori concert. In their new show, DM members Martin Gore and Dave Gahan pay a moving and impressive tribute to the collective’s third member, Andrew Fletcher (1961-2022). The album released this year is played at the concert Memento Mori songs and main hits of the DM repertoire. With his creativity, presence and energy Depeche Mode paradoxically reminds us that nothing in this world is eternal. Perhaps that is why 2023/2024 2018’s tour is phenomenally successful – a total of 113 concerts are planned until next April. Return to the Baltics during the tour is not planned. If the musicians don’t come to us, we come to them – on Sunday to Tallinn! More about the album Memento Mori read here.

French actors Léa Driquere and Alain Chabat in the film Unbelievable, but true. Publicity photo

Evil. French director Quentin Dupierre’s comedy is coming to Latvian cinema screens Unbelievable, but true/Incredible but true (2022). Dupierre is one of the most subtle absurdists of our time. The film is a philosophical tale, an ironic impressionistic fantasy about aging, the search for love and the frustrations that haunt middle-aged people. Starring: Alain Chabat, Léa Driquere, Benoit Mazhimel and Anaïs Demoustier. Read the interview with director Quentin Dupierre here.

Unbelievable, but true

Evil. European film lovers can pay attention to the drama of Scottish director Gillis McKinnon The last bus/The Last Bus (2021). British star Timothy Spall plays a widower who, after the death of his wife, travels to the other side of the country using only local traffic buses (seniors can ride them for free). The route of the trip is deeply symbolic. On the trip, Tom becomes a celebrity and finds a new meaning in life.
