💜 Latvian artist duo @ieva.krish / Tuvumi presented their work OBLICUS.
“Oblicus” is a contemporary love story — a metaphysical duet intertwining intimacy, vulnerability, and creative aspiration. It portrays two individuals negotiating the tensions between closeness and distance, exploring the desire to become one while still holding on to their own identities. 📸 @ievajura
Tuvumi & IevaKrish has received mobility funding from the Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme for Culture to present "Oblicus" in Baltic Dance Platform.

🟣 24 April | 17:30 | PERFORMANCE
OBLICUS
IevaKrish & Tuvumi (LV)
“Oblicus” is a contemporary love story—a metaphysical duet that weaves together intimacy, vulnerability, and artistic ambition. It is a self-portrait of two individuals navigating the tensions of togetherness and separation, exploring the longing to merge while preserving one’s sense of self.
This work emerges from a desire to inhabit a shared space—a time that is neither mine nor yours, but ours. Inspired by the Lithuanian polyphonic tradition of sutartinės, “Oblicus” transforms that logic into movement: layered, asynchronous, and interdependent.
“Oblicus” is both an intimate duet and a broader reflection on the contemporary condition: the impossibility of complete fusion, and the beauty of trying.

On 8 May we open Baltic Take Over with “Oblicus” by @ieva.krish at Konträr as part of @sthlmdans !💫
“Oblicus” is a contemporary love story by artists Ieva Gaurilčikaitė-Sants (LT/LV) and Krišjānis Sants (LV).
As @santa.chan , the artistic director of the New Theatre Institute of Latvia describes it: “Oblicus offers a physical, almost visceral experience that balances between vulnerability and controlled collapse. It reflects the perspective of one of the most mature dance duos in Latvia today, Ieva & Krish, whose work, in its own way, embodies a regional sensibility where balance is never taken for granted, but is constantly being renegotiated.”
8 May 2026 at 19:00 at Konträr, followed by a little opening moment!

#baltictakeover2026 #baltictakeover
Oblicus ir laikmetīgs mīlasstāsts.
Tas ir stāsts par diviem cilvēkiem, kas tiecas saplūst vienā, lai arī zina, ka tas nekad nebūs iespējams. Oblicus ir divu cilvēku ambīciju, ievainojamības un izdegšanas pašportrets.
