While still a final year student, Rozīte responded to the invitation of her friend, the young director Jura Strengas, to create a stage design for Mati Unta’s play “Kāda būsi, mana pasavela?”, which was staged in 1967. In the Art Theater, the artist created a black stage, a white boxing ring square. Planed white wooden chairs were also visible.

The actors of the production worked in a minimalist room, the director commented on what was happening during the performances from the audience hall. Rozite is considered the first stage minimalist. Three more performances followed, but in them the creative solution faced objections from the artistic council, and the subsequent compromises did not satisfy either the director or the artist.
