In 2024 On July 19, the second day of the speech and music festival "And the lake has ears" took place on the shores of Lake Talkša.

At the beginning of Friday evening, the audience at the Talkša lake immersed themselves in the sensual one-man play "Aries" by actor and playwright Raimonds Klezis. The performance invited us to explore with the actor sensitive topics that connect each of us childhood, adolescence and adult life. During the performance, topics that are usually not dared to be discussed among peers were analyzed, and deep and emotional human experiences were revealed.

The evening ended with the "Green Concert" of music artist and creator Remi Rantis. The concert featured music not only about the world, people, relationships, beauty - nature is also important here. During the concert, important questions of ecology and sustainability were raised, and answers were sought as to how we can create a more harmonious relationship between human needs and nature. Remi Rantis' works invited us to think about our place in the world and responsible behavior towards the environment, but at the same time the concert was cheerful and optimistic.

On the last day of the festival, July 20, the organizers invite you to the shore of the Prudel pond, which at 7:30 p.m. will start with the concert of the Kopanugaris group. 9 p.m. The festival "And the lake has ears" will be crowned by the solo post-electro-flamenco music and dance performance "Human, Lost & Found" by the French artist Phil Von.
