MY CID UNESCO MISSION IN CAPITALS OF 
ESTONIA, FINNLAND, LITHUANIA AND LATVIA

All this countries, look back to a common baltic culture, very closed with germany and the german Hanse and german cultural roots of 800 years multiethnic living together with germans (prussia, kurland, livland, esthonia).

All countries have a well developed ballet scene, The tradition is young, the most started with german culture of kingdom prussia or sweden or with their first national indipence after world war I in 19th century. They all have international recognized high quality ballet competitions.

Finnland


At first I followed the invitation of the Finnland National Opera Balett School in Helsinki in case of my education studies.

In the end, the bridegroom of Princess Rosa was unfortunally killed by Polish officers. And parts of Livland were occupied by Sweden. So, after I visited already the castle of Threyden in Latvia, I was in Trakai castle - capital in middle age - at beautiful lake side, selected by principalities in case better defence, not for the nice view.

Of course I visited the National Opera House of Lithuania,

Inspired by Shane Acker's post-apocalyptic short film "9" (2005) and the feature film of the same name (Tim Burton USA/Timur Bekmambetov KAZ) with soundtrack by Danny Eifman and Deborah Lurie USA) I created a new choreo / performance "the spark of life",

need hope for their struggle for freedom.

In this case, I founded an artist co-operation with artists like composer Deborah Lurie (USA).

Deborah Lurie is a composer, arranger, and music producer. She is the most successful American female film composer in terms of box office (15 films grossing over $400 million).

Deborah is best known for her scores for director Lasse Hallström's films, Dear John and Safe Haven, Paramount's 2011 version of Footloose, and the all-time highest-grossing concert movie,Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.
