Concert Performance "The Blond Martyr"

Aloizs Trūps’ life carousel in a musical visual story on December 27 at the Barkava Cultural Center.

Latgalian Aloizs Lauris Trūps, because of his character and a fateful coincidence, ended up at the court of the last tsar of the Russian Empire, becoming a chamber servant and a trusted confidant of the Romanov family. Shot by the Bolsheviks together with the tsar’s family. After his death, the Orthodox Church recognized him as a holy martyr.

Aloizs Trūps’ vivid life story in the concert performance will be told by Ūga, “Dabasu Durovys,” “Juos īluos līluos,” and Guntis Rasims through hip-hop and alternative pop-rock specially composed for the show. The concert will be enhanced by Ivars Utināns’ computer visualizations and Arnis Bukšs’ humorous monologues.
