"This year, tulips have a late season.
The ladies from Riga have arrived and will try to tend the garden, but it’s just a test.
Climb and curse, stand in greeting and battle, hit or miss, watch out that something doesn’t fit somewhere!
COCKROACHES!
No, those were cockroaches.
What’s in the garden, what’s in the garden?
COCKROACHES!
No, cockroaches!
Pru pru pru cockroaches, what do you say? Tell the story.
About the flowers?
Yes, spring is coming!
COCKROACHES!
Fear, fear, fear
OF COCKROACHES!
I think the spring sun has overheated your forehead. I told you it was cockroaches. Are you listening or not? Are you ashamed?
I’m sleepy.
Catch a sweet sleep, flea.
You won’t dig the hole again.
Dig deeper and watch out for fleas.
9 girls later, the exhibition will see its first flash of light.

Spring has come to the yard to play ball. Everyone is crawling and waking up, greeting the new day.
Don’t be afraid, you too!"

Exhibition is supported by VKN/KAS and State Culture Capital Foundation.
