The World of Vija Vetra

This is a 48 min documentary about life of an artist, told through a portrait of an 84 year old world renowned dancer Vija Vetra.

Vija Vetra is the portrait of a great spirit, full of symbols; a life story, that every artist in the modern world is able to relate to.
Her devotion to the art of dance is her celebration of life, but it is also a
life that is often lonely and full of sacrifice.
Her creative , positive spirit stands alone against a materialistic world that is constantly changing. Her wise soul, her point of view on life, and criticism towards the modern world push us to think about secret
meanings, symbols and the simplicity of life.

Vija Vetra, the dancer, choreographer, teacher, native of Riga, Latvia, has performed solo dance all over the world. She introduced sacred dances that have become a part of church services. She had her own TV shows in
Europe, Australia, India, Mexico, the US (Mister Rodger show) and Canada.
She received a lifetime achievement award from the Latvian government.

A "spirit in human form," Vija Vetra has been called
"the bridge between east and west".
