In an army tent in the middle of Riga, two Finnish men are baking pancakes, making coffee and welcoming guests. The performance of artist Juha Valkeapää and musician Taito Hoffrén runs at a pleasant and leisury pace – the hosts take care of guests, talk, play some music, discuss a bit, get into some action and all through this tell us ten sincere stories with and with out words.
Musician Taito Hoffrén and artist Juha Valkeapää started this journey to a place where nothing happens in 2005. That year Juha’s father died and Taito’s first daughter was born. It has been a long, dark and winding road, but eventually they came out as winners – five years later the performance was premiered at the Baltic Circle festival in Helsinki. Next destination - Riga. Juha and Taito are on the road and will come to Riga in the same old Mercedes van as on all their journeys.
Please come to the tent and say ”hello” to Juha and Taito during the daytime as well.
