From 12 to 17 October, a programme called "Nora's House" ("Noras māja") will take place in Riga and Ikšķile, dedicated to the Latvian writer Nora Ikstena. The events invite visitors to symbolically meet the author in her literary, musical and personal space. The programme coincides with the writer's birthday.
The idea behind it
The programme was conceived by Ikstena's sister, Indra Vilipsone. Speaking on the show "Pa ceļam ar Klasiku" ("Along the Way with Klasika") on Latvian Radio 3 "Klasika", she described the week's purpose. In her words, it will be a continuation of the celebration of Nora's life, which she called the main and only guiding theme. She added that, of course, the writer's birthday will also be marked.
What the programme offers
According to the headline of the original report, the events range from new books to chamomile tea in the writer's yard. The source does not give further details about individual events, venues or times.
