Title
en Latvian collective contribution- Illuminating peat
Description
en This is Latvian collective’s contribution for week 13 about light and text, describing how we are planning to use light and text in the opening scene of our future performance where peat becomes the main character.

Context:
A few words about peat.
One of the most frequent ecological catastrophes in the Baltic region is peat fires — slow, subterranean smouldering that can spread across many hectares for months. These fires are almost impossible to extinguish by human means. They gradually destroy a valuable local resource that takes thousands of years to form, releasing massive amounts of carbon, damaging ecosystems, and suffocating life above the ground.
