The concert performance “Dziesma dejo, deja skan” will gather more than 6,000 participants on the Mežapark stage / Article

The center of the performance is a swing that swings the Latvian between past and present, earth and sky, meadows and forest tops, this and that sun, winter and summer, childhood and old age, between Latvia and foreignness – between dance and song. It tells about a Latvian woman who sings and dances – in honor, in sadness, doing work, in love and walking in nature.

The idea of ​​a concert where singers dance and dancers sing was born several years ago to combine song with dance.

The repertoire consists of well-known choral and dance numbers. It will be performed by a group of 14 musicians, 53 choirs and 105 dance groups from all over Latvia, as well as 10 foreign choirs and dance groups, on the Great Stage of Mežapark. The choir will move on the same square as the dancers, but this time the audience will sit in the places intended for the chorus of the renovated Mežapark stage, and the participants will dance on the square where the audience benches are usually located. In order to convey the emotional message to the audience, the entire performance will be performed live.

Choreographer Agris Danilevičs admits that there was a lot of anxiety about whether it would be possible to get the choirs to dance and sing and move on the same square as the dancers. Now we can safely say that choristers not only sing beautifully, but also know how to dance.
