Carnival in Latvia

You probably think that in northern countries, specially Baltics, they don´t know how to have a great and fun party celebration, aren´t you?
You probably are right in most of the cases.
But! this weekend there was the celebration of the carnival. Carnival is a very popular festivity among the arts field and they always, anywhere, give more spoil than any other places. Here in Latvia the same. A great Carnival party took event in the Art Academy of Latvia, iconic place for artists and arts in the Baltics. Music, costumes, concerts, colours, more colours and more alcohol took over the area!

I will describe how was the atmosphere. The whole academy became in something like a big disco-party place where each classroom had different concerts playing on, and different scenary too. The theme of this year (yes, every Carnival in LMA -The Art Academy acronym for Lavijas Mākslas Akadēmija- has a theme) was about digital world...althought always things go to free will.

Here´s the hall of expositions transformed in the big concert part.

Tea served properly, of course!

Yeah, there were some activities to do, but mostly you had to pay.

Oh, yeah...it´s Carnival, so everyone goes dressed...except me.

DJs in one of the several scenarios spread across the whole building (remind it´s a two level building...plus the third one which was closed for this event).

The anatomy class served as a place were several animation shorts were shown!

As I said, people went dressed!

Barrier to prevent people to going to forbidden areas. I heard like probably anti-riot police will use them in the future too.

Also, there were videogames; but as things furniture started to dissapear as the night progressed I wonder if the remote of the console (and the console itself) disappeared too.

And also there was theatre. No, it´s not a dressed up person drunk up, no. It´s a show.

Oh yeah. The photos are not the best resolution of the world due that the security staff avoided you could enter with a camera so I had to made the photos with my ultimate mobile phone.

And well, the party was a wiiiild event full of fancy people, music and lots of funny stuff. Something really special! yay! that´s why this is the second time I came there!
