The board of LTDS and the foundation “Rampa A” thank all the good people who did not remain indifferent and donated money. The amount donated is 13,617 euros, which will be used for this purpose.

The money, which will not be necessary to improve the health of the artist Rudolf Plep, with the acceptance of Rudolf Plep, will be directed to improve the health of other old masters of theater art.

It has been reported before that the well-known actor has health problems, as a result of which his vision has deteriorated rapidly. On April 22 this year, LTDS began collecting donations to help the actor. The amount was collected in less than two weeks

In the theater Rūdolfs Plēpis played many different and stylistically different roles. He brilliantly played roles in the performances of his teacher Adolf Shapiro: he was the Great Curly in Henrik Ibsen ‘s play “Per Gints” (1979), Bulanov in Alexander Ostrovsky’ s “Forest” (1984), German officer Gotthard Gunar ‘s “Centrifuge” (1985). His Architect Gunārs Priede’s production of “Snowy Mountains” (1986) became a real test of mastery, writes colleagues from LTDS.

In 1996, Edmunds Freibergs staged Andrejs Upītis’ “Green Land” at the Latvian National Theater, in which Glupjai Miķelis, played by Rūdolfs Plēpis, acquired a symbolic meaning. The actor also brought an unexpected pain to the play of Baron Bundula (Zeibolt Jēkabs “Dullais Barons Bunduls”, 1995, dir. Edmunds Freibergs). At the Latvian National Theater, Rūdolfs Plēpis also played one of the most important roles in his acting career: Willie Lomenu in the production of Arthur Miller’s play “The Death of a Comedian” (dir. Mihails Kublinskis, 1998). To some extent, this role was in harmony with the personality of Rūdolfs Plēpis himself, which is why it was so difficult for him to develop further acting, colleagues write.

A kind of fate story was also seen in his portrayed Lira (William Shakespeare’s “King Lear”, dir. Indra Roga, 2006), in which the hero of Rūdolfs Plēpis is pushed from the reality of the game into the cruel reality of life.

LTDS reminds that the talent of Rūdolfs Plēpjs also shone in Daugavpils Theater, where in 2000 he realized his long-cherished idea – his own composition about the poet Jānis Poruks, creating a musical performance – mystery (music by Valdis Zilvers) “Dream Games or Soul Chests”. It was also appreciated by professionals, and Rūdolfs Plēpis receives the title of “Player’s Night” actor of the year.
