Reinis Sējāns

CROW

The collaboration between musician and composer Reinis Sējāns and leading soloist and choreographer of the Latvian National Ballet, Elza Leimane, “CROW. A FLIGHT IN ONE ACT”, will be performed at the Dailes Theater with symphonic grandeur. It is a story about a person – not a crow – about a human’s inner struggle, about the ugly in the beautiful and the beautiful in the ugly, about approaching the dangerous and rediscovering oneself. The crow, as a symbol, being an exceptionally intellectually sophisticated and beautiful bird, helps to tell this story in such a way that everyone can see themselves in it.

"Embodying the crow, bringing it to life through movement, and exploring the possibilities offered by this character brings me great creative joy and genuine inspiration," says dancer and choreographer Elza Leimane.
