Ryga, which has recently released its debut album Catch Her Groove including songs from both plays, participated in both of them.<\/p>\n<p>In light of these happy news, the band has released a new video for the song starring actors Art\u016brs Skrasti\u0146\u0161 and Ieva Segli\u0146a from The Death of Bunny Munro. The video has been filmed and edited by the director Artis Dz\u0113rve. Keep an ear out for \u201cBunny Munro Waltz\u201d on the new album Catch Her Groove, as well as in the play. M\u0101rcis says: \u201cI would like to say a big thank you to the Daile Theatre, the actors and D\u017eilind\u017eers for the honour to work on this play. I really appreciate it. Without this play there would be no song, nor this terrific short film, a special thanks for which goes to the theatre, actors and Artis Dz\u0113rve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>M\u0101rcis sets the scene for the song: \u201cThis is my first waltz. When I wrote this song, I was thinking of two worlds: the first one has an overwhelming amount of sex, drugs and rock &#038; roll. It\u2019s clear that it will all come to an abrupt end, and one will be flying, hopefully, towards the sky, because this kind of lifestyle can only have one outcome. It\u2019s the highest concentration of egoism when nothing is an obstacle, because there are pleasures one cannot miss out on.\u00a0Meanwhile, the other side is hysterically screaming: \u201cHey! I&#8217;m right here.\u00a0I love you!\u00a0Everything will be alright!\u00a0I miss you! Love you\u00a0\u2026\u00a0You tricked me again, Bunny!\u201d These are the two worlds that are not meant to align.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The album Catch Her Groove will soon be released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in cooperation with Gordeon Music and Rough Trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>M\u0101rcis Judzis, the founder and songwriter of Ryga, has been nominated for his second prestigious Sp\u0113lma\u0146u nakts theatre award in the category Musical Score of the Year.
