valodas triloģija // language trilogy
Valodas triloģija / Language Trilogy is a project Ahil undertook in collaboration with and commissioned by the Latvian festival Homo Novus. The project was born out of a desire to investigate the power of language in society in a practical and non-academic manner. In Homo Novus this resulted in the creation of three different works:
Bille 24 stundās / Bille in 24 hours
A reading of the seminal Latvian novel Bille by by Vizma Belševica
Perfektais migrants / The Perfect migrant
a solo, an attempt to be the perfect migrant in Latvia
Ārzemnieks / Foreigner
a language game played by four migrants in Latvian with a local audience
