Tartu city center, February 10, 2013. Wet snowdrifts try to hide the gloomy looks of individual passers-by. The Christmas glow has disappeared and the evenings still do not have an iota of spring anticipation. However, quiet speaker music is heard from the square of the town hall, and right there, on the pedestal in front of the kissing students, something is hidden under a black cloth. As if by magic - as soon as the clocks of the town hall announce six o'clock - the spectators also appear and form a big donut in front of the pedestal.
Just today, February 10, according to the Chinese calendar, the year of the black water snake began, and it is celebrated here. Tartu Deputy Mayor Tiia Teppan will be present. Ahti Seppet's ice sculpture "Snake" will be unveiled. In order to somehow melt the ice of the whole event, the dance troupe Trikivabrik lights its torches and performs a sparkling dance. People disperse. Wet sleet continues to fall. However, you can't find Morne's eyes here anymore.
