In the first episode of the show, the first detectives unmasked the fragile creature Nightmare, who always strives for light – both internal and external, and is happy to help others shine as well. Dana Bjork was hiding under the mask. The night owl surprised the audience with a gorgeous performance of the song “Mamma Mia” by the group “ABBA”.
The detectives mentioned that the musician and nightclub owner Miks Galvanovskis, the singer, countertenor Sergejs Jäger, or the opera soloist Sonora Vaice could be hiding under the mask, while Jānis Šipkēvics recognized the actress Dana Björk under the Nakstaurenis mask, which was largely prompted by what he heard in the prepared clues.
After removing the mask, Dana admitted that she was really surprised by Jānis Šipkēvits’s correct guess even before her performance, when the detectives were still familiar with the prepared clues. “When the northern lights appeared and the word ‘Bjorka’ came out, I thought – oh, that’s it, I can’t go on stage anymore,” said Dana, laughing.
Detective Samantha Tina’s most vivid memory from the Nightingale thread was, “Then when the lights go out, I’m going to the pies.” It turns out that this thread reflects Dana Bjork’s great love for baking cakes and pies. On the other hand, the darkness, which appeared several times in the threads, is related to the fact that in the theater, as the director of the theater, she was often behind the scenes, in the dark, from where she watched what was happening in the light on the stage.
