During four intensive days we invite you to see the latest and the most interesting Latvian theatre productions - a range of work by the state theatres, as well as independent directors and companies. You will be the first to see the latest work by Alvis Hermanis, Kirill Serebrennikov, Viesturs Meikšāns and Mārtiņš Eihe, among others. We will also introduce the current situation in Latvian theatre and will organize meetings with theatre artists and companies.

All showcase guests will receive free tickets to the performances; most of them will have simultaneous English translation.

Free transportation to Valmiera (100 km distance) to the performance "Wine and Weeds" will be organised on April 27. The bus will leave from Riga at 16:00.
When necessary, we will provide transportation in Riga in order to get to all shows of your choice in time.
