Ralph Eiland announces that he will not escape from Veidenbaum

“You will not run away from Veidenbaum” in poetry, songs and episodic silent film excerpts allows viewers to come to the same room with Eduards Veidenbaums for a moment to see the most important twists and turns of the poet’s life from the first line, as well as listen to his still current poetry lines.

“It’s the 21st century, a pandemic. There is a lot of misinformation, hypocrisy, injustice around us, we see people trying to build their political capital on populist slogans – all these things only prove to me that Veidenbaum’s poetry has not lost its significance even today. I can only wonder what he would do and what he would have written about if he had lived with us at the same time. I think and it seems to me that he would not be really different, so the name “You will not run away from Veidenbaum”, in my opinion, also explains very well what our story is about the poet, “says Ralph Eiland, a musician and a representative of the poet’s image.
