The Night of the Ad Eaters: a kooky culture clash!
For one night, let yourself be overwhelmed by a tsunami of advertising from the farthest corners of the planet: amazingly creative, aesthetic, exotic, touching, sometimes very kitschy, and especially funny!
Created 42 years ago by Jean Marie Boursicot, "The Night of the Ad Eaters" has become an unforgettable event for lovers of advertising cinema all over the world and on all 5 continents.
Forget the commercial side of advertising, which is too often aggressive, repetitive, or intrusive... The Night of the Ad Eaters is about fun and great mini-movies!
Advertising is #magic! Open your eyes and ears, open up to the world, and come celebrate the best - and a little bit the worst - creative ads from around the world. It's an evening dedicated to loudly and proudly expressing your opinion on the ads of your choice. Let your voice be heard like in France, Madagascar, or Tahiti! At The Night of the Ad Eaters, we laugh, shout, clap, whistle, and maybe even cry. Since its humble beginnings, The Night of the Ad Eaters has been an extraordinary UFO that walks a tightrope between advertising and shows. It is a concept that has so far been unclassifiable.
Let go of some of your preconceptions about advertising. Commercials can offer amazing cinematic moments: action, suspense, exoticism, twists, intrigue, melancholy, a little romance, but most of all, lots of humor!
This year in Latvia, come and enjoy a fun and creative atmosphere with activities, games, the artist Žoržs Siksna, the coolest people, and, of course, commercials!
Warning! Latest ads, uncensored ads, best ads, international ads, exotic ads, unusual ads, historical ads (1898 to present), cultural and political parodies, banned ads, 18+ ads (tobacco, drinks, condoms, underwear, gambling), ads, ads, ads, ads... No censorship...
LNSO, KSENIJA SIDOROVA AND ANDRIS POGA
Ksenija SIDOROVA — accordion
Conductor Andris POGA
Programme:
Arturs MASKATS Concerto for Accordion and Orchestra What the Wind Told Over the Sea
Rolf WALLIN Act
Serge RACHMANINOFF Symphony no. 2
After a three-year hiatus, the world-renowned accordionist Ksenija Sidorova will once again perform with the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra. The Accordion Concerto, dedicated to her, was first performed in 2019 during the pandemic but will now have reunion with the audience. Norwegian Rolf Wallin’s opus Act brings to the forefront one of the most brilliant accomplishments of human collaboration — the symphony orchestra. The power of the orchestra will be further showcased with Rachmaninoff’s Second Symphony.
At the beginning of November, the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of artistic leader and chief conductor Tarmo Peltokoski, will perform some of the most thrilling works from the first half of the 20th century in two concerts—on November 1st at Hanzas Perons and on November 2nd at the Cēsis Concert Hall. Messiaen composes on the theme of mourning, Debussy paints the sea in sound, and Richard Strauss shakes the world of opera with a work based on the literary piece by Oscar Wilde.
Vida Miknevičiūtė – Soprano
Tarmo Peltokoski – Conductor
Program:
Olivier MESSIAEN – Le Tombeau resplendissant
Claude DEBUSSY – La Mer ("The Sea")
Richard STRAUSS – Fragments from the opera Salome
Entry to the concert from 6:00 p.m.
