The Latvian National Theatre presents a new production of Rudolf Blāzmanis' play 'In the Fire', based on the principles of eco-performance, theatre representatives told LETA.
The director of the production is Inese Michule, and the dramaturg Reinis Dzudzilo is responsible for eco-friendly solutions in the design of the sets and costumes. The new production is created as part of the international project 'Greenstage' using environmentally friendly solutions and reusable materials.
Blāzmanis' play 'In the Fire' is one of the most significant works of Latvian drama. It tells the story of the relationship between Kristīne and Edgars, influenced by social pressure, jealousy, and false rumors. The new production also addresses the theme of freedom of choice and the internal conflict between feelings and reason.
Historically, this was the first play staged at the National Theatre under its current name in 1919.
In line with the principles of sustainable development, white wedding dresses donated by the public are also used in the scenography, serving as both costume elements and part of the set design.
The premiere is expected on March 12 in the theatre's Great Hall.
