Riga stronger than Death. The last live performance by Indulis Bilzens (Bil) curated by Oskars Redbergs. 2014. Riga.
The last live performance by multimedia artist, cultural diplomat and intellectual, who truly epitomized the essence of a free spirit – Indulis Bilzēns. His legacy has influenced the cultural, political, and humanism paradigm shifts throughout Germany, the Soviet Union, and 21st century post-Soviet era Latvia. The performance utilized his infamous MediaMix concept—a methodology incorporating all available artistic techniques and languages in the genre of performance. In this specific work, Bilzens incorporates the poetry of Italian attraverso, Knut Skujenieks, T.S. Eliot, Uldis Berzins, Rainis, Ovid, Horace, Neruda, and even the artist himself. The prose coexist and intermingle with the techno music tracks created by a former student of Bilzens, DJ Westbam.
