Notes from “Rainis biscuit” free microphone / Article / LSM.lv

On September 7, in the free microphone of “Rainis cepiena” held at Rainis and Aspazija’s house, one could joke about everything that Rainis likes or dislikes. Four participants had applied for the free microphone. Almost everyone has a deep and profound interest in the great spirit of our poetry, however, as the organizers of the free microphone conclude – to joke about Raini, it takes a lot of courage, so there were not too many participants.

The free microphone of “Rainis Biscuit” had gathered so many listeners that part of the event was followed by standing or sitting by the open hall windows. Elvira Blom, the head of the free microphone, specialist of the Rainis and Aspazija Museum, introduced me to the upcoming event.

The jury is greeted with loud applause – Aiva Birbele and Raimonds Ķirķis, followed by the first performance: Lolita Tomsone, director of the Žanas Lipke Memorial, who has lived in Jerusalem for many years. Her chosen theme was: “Rainis & Tomsone in Palestine 1929/2019”.

The speech was followed by a call to my mother and a confirmation that Rainis had made the biggest impression on Ilze. She ended her performance with a song, of course, in Rainis’ words.

The next participant Kristīne Plone from VEF Theater wanted to reveal some unknown facts about Rainis, namely that Rainis was engaged in underwater sports.
