Location: Pēterbaznīcas Street

And, He took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it and gave unto them, saying: “This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.” Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.” [Luke Ev. 22:19-20]

Leonardo Da Vinči’s “Last Supper” painted in 1498, is one of the most famous works of art in the history of mankind, which from its moment of creation until today has made a great contribution to the history of art and lives today as part of our cultural heritage.

The concept of “electricity” was already being researched in the 17th century, but one of the most significant discoveries was Thomas Alva Edison’s invention of electric light using a carbon filament. This achievement took place in 1879.

Two masterpieces from the past are combined in this project – a work of art and a discovery in physics, creating a new interpretation of them.

On this wonderful Festival evening it will be possible to record your impressions in a very interesting way.
