“Grimmi” is the director Elmars Senkovs’ second of the intended trilogy performances at the Liepaja Theater, which will continue the search for aesthetics already started in “Shakespeare” – cynicism, the joy and blood of the play, reports the theater’s literary adviser Zanda Borga.
How to live in a world of horror? How to stay good if you are overwhelmed? The darkness of night can be broken by daylight, but what will break the darkness created by man? The fairy tales end happily, but the middle part will have to go through on their own.
As the director emphasizes: “I think a lot about how to restore broken pieces? There are currently two ways in the theater – to manifest or look at your world through an exaggerated and crooked mirror. Words are starting to lose their meaning. How to build the world? Or from what was? Start from scratch? The show will be a challenging game with Grimm’s fairy tales. Such demythologization. An absurd, fun and genre game. ”
Actors Inese Kučinska, Egons Dombrovskis, Edgars Pujāts, Viktors Ellers, Agnese Jēkabsone, Rolands Beķeris, Ilze Trukšāne, Madara Kalna, Hugo Puriņš, Kārlis Ērglis, Kintija Stūre, Madara Vilčuka, Valts Skuja will take part in the performance.
Together with the director, his usual team – assistant Matīss Budovskis, composer Edgars Mākens, artist Reinis Suhanovs, has created an apocalyptic stage design that is especially suitable for fairy tales. He is assisted by Līga Zepa; Mārtiņš Feldmanis will create the light score.
