After a break of twenty years, director Māra Ķimele has returned to the Liepāja Theater – she has staged a play by Russian playwright Ivan Viripayev The thrill (2019). Polish journalist Krzysztof Zelinski comes to the famous Polish writer Ulja Rihte, an introverted author who rarely gives interviews. The interview unfolds with unexpected twists and turns, it intertwines real life facts and myths created by the writer’s imagination. “I was interested in the theme of the play – the question of the possibility or impossibility of creative freedom, the artist’s independence or dependence on other people’s influences, needs and the role of conjuncture, nationality and political views in the fate of a creative personality,” says Māra Ķimele. The main role will be played by Inese Kučinska. Viktors Ellers, Ilze Trukšāne, Sandis Väljais, Edgars Ozoliņš and Rolands Beķeris will also take part in the show.
