In honor of the ninetieth anniversary of the Latvian writer Regīna Ezera, the Daile Theater has dramatized one of her best, but the novel Aka for the works left in the shadows – phantasmagoria Zemdegas. The phantasmagoria or ghost speech in two parts tells the story of a small Latvian town, Mūrgale, whose inhabitants, like the heroes of Twin Peak from the legendary mystical series of the 1990s directed by David Lynch, are united by muffled longings, fears and ghosts of the past. The innocent attempt of two local teenagers to get closer starts a series of events that highlight the secrets of Mūrgale that have been hidden for years.
The premiere of the production is expected on August 5. The director of the show is Dmitry Petrenko, the author of the drama is Justine Klava. Anete Krasovska, Toms Veličko, Ērika Eglija-Grāvele, Kristīne Nevarauska, Juris Bartkevičs, Artis Robežnieks, Milēna Mickēviča or Lelde Dreimane, Indra Briķe, Mārtiņš Upenieks, Lilita Ozoliņa and Imants Strads will take part in the roles.
This will be followed by a staging Consent premiere on August 12. It is a tense and entertaining contemporary tragicomedy by contemporary British playwright Nina Rhine, directed by Laura Groza.
It is said that the contemporary British playwright Nina Rein inherited her talent from her uncle – the outstanding Russian poet and writer Boris Pasternak, or his father – the contemporary British poet Craig Rein. Consent is Nina Rhine ‘s latest work, which tells the story of two pairs – four very successful and somewhat cynical lawyers, as well as their morally less flexible, and therefore less successful friends prosecutors.
The company that has lived so far MeToo in an unhindered bubble, is in the heat of a salt bread celebration when a rape victim comes to them to claim their right to a fair trial. The event triggers a brutal game of power, not only in the courtroom, but also in the relationship between spouses and friends, as a result of which those involved overestimate their understanding of the concept of consent, violence and marriage.
The roles will include Dainis Grūbe, Ilze Ķuzule-Skrastiņa, Mārtiņš Upenieks, Anete Krasovska, Kaspars Dumburs, Katrīna Griga, as well as actress Maija Doveika of the Latvian National Theater, who is returning to Daile. played first roles.

On August 27, the central event of the theatre’s centenary – the latest plays by Māra Zālīte – will have its premiere in the Great Hall of the Daile Theater Sandstone production. The play begins with the birth of the idea of Daile Theater in the mind of one genius, followed by the founding of the theater. The performance is an event of the Latvian state centenary program.
Eduards Smiļģis is not only the founder of the Daile Theater, an innovative director, an actor of strength and ecstasy, but also a genius torn by contradictions, who, like a chameleon, changes his nature depending on the woman he loves or the power that prevails at that time. The drama in two parts tries to find out what really lies behind Smilg’s thousand masks, and what price a genius has to pay for the ability to play theater, hurt and love beyond the limits of the average person.
