A show about how to find yourself in the complex reality of life, how to grow, to become independent. This will be largely reflected through the father-daughter relationship, and especially through the psychological portrait of the modern man. The new actress of Daugavpils Theater Agnese Laicāne is also making her debut in this show, immediately becoming one of the actors in the main role.
Inga Ābele’s “Dark Deer” has already been staged at the Valmiera Drama Theater, the New Riga Theater, and in 2006 “Dark Deer” was screened by director Viesturs Kairišs.
