Tautumeitas “Danco, Jāni”
JUN 2024

Roman Janus, god of transitions, bridges dualities like life/death, beginning/end, rural/urban.
Latvian Jānis, the weaver of opposites, holds them together during the summer solstice.
We reinvented these myths, bringing them to life with ethno-music group Tautumeitas.
