Their performances are expected to bring the beloved characters to life and create a memorable experience for the audience.

“Scrooderdays is a special show because we don’t have any ignorance or intrigue about how everything will end. We all know that this is a story where the oven explodes and on Midsummer Night’s Eve the young people behave exactly as they really do all the time. We all know the play,” says director Imants Strads.

The play offers a unique opportunity for viewers to connect with their ancestors and embrace their cultural heritage. Audiences will have the chance to sing along to well-known songs and laugh at the jokes that their great-great-grandparents once enjoyed. It is a tradition that has been passed down through generations, and by preserving and cherishing these traditions, Latvians can create a stronger sense of cultural awareness.

“It is a unique opportunity to be together with your ancestors in the same cultural boat and raise your children with this tradition, so that after 120 years you can say that 12 generations have grown up with Skroderdieni. It is a tradition. And by taking care of traditions, we create ourselves and our cultural awareness,” adds Strads.

To make the play accessible to a wider audience, the performance will be broadcasted on the TV3 channel on Midsummer’s Eve. This will allow viewers across the country to enjoy the new production, sing along to the familiar tunes, and eagerly anticipate the explosive climax of the play.
