anna@theatre.lv Homo Novus is mine and contemporary theater's firstborn, to be cared for, nurtured, admired, and proud of.

ancovaance@gmail.com Contemporary theater is the art form that most inspires me to look into personal and global issues. I am thrilled that Homo Novus introduces Latvian performing arts to new and impressive theatre forms, reflecting on current issues and challenging the status quo!

priedniecedarta@gmail.com Homo Novus is like a kaleidoscope – colorful, diverse, and exciting. There is something for everybody in it, if you just give in.

elza@strazdini.lv Homo Novus is a place to get together, step out of your comfort zone, and always experience something new!
Ieva Briede
Producer
ieva@theatre.lv At a time when everything in the world revolves around money, power and vanity, it is not only pleasant but also very valuable to lose oneself in art and rediscover that there is something higher and more human.
Inga Tauriņa
PR Manager
inga@theatre.lv I once told my husband that theatre is my life. I don't remember saying that. But when I think about it, Homo Novus has really been a part of my life and a theatre experience that has left its mark. Yes, sometimes it knocks you off your feet, but then you build yourself up again!
Inta Balode
Dance programme curator
inta@dance.lv I have been in a relationship with Homo Novus for more than 20 years as a regular viewer, aspiring critic, young critic, middle-aged critic, old young artist, and this year also as a curator of the dance programme.

Madara Lapiņa
Social media coordinator
madara@theatre.lv Homo Novus is an opportunity to meet world-class artists, and not just from a distance, as the separation between life and art would seem to demand, but to be right there with them on stage, to discover your own city hand in hand with them, or to be invited to dance at one of the festival's unforgettable parties.
Marina Ivanova
Producer of the programme in Daugavpils
marinavonavi@gmail.com Homo Novus is a meeting place for curious minds, where theater transcends the borders of the stage, and enters the city streets and everyday life, revealing new perspectives and stories.
Sandra Lapkovska
Producer
sandra@theatre.lv Once, Homo Novus opened the door to a world full of surprises for me, and I want to show that to others.
Santa Remere
Programme curator
santa@theatre.lv Homo Novus performances can throw you off balance and change your perspective; they can also wound you and leave you pondering for a long time, and the experience is both personal and unifying.
