International Festival of Contemporary Theatre Homo Novus in Riga and region presents their programme from the 2nd to 11 th of September. Now it’s 27th year Homo Novus will once again fit comfortably back into theatres and remain in the streets, the villages and beyond. This year’s program invites familiar faces, commissioned works closer to home and continues the festival’s commitment to present works from artists whose practices are not represented locally.

We recommend you to attend the special events by Homo Novus – Ukrainian Nights on the 7th-8th of September.
