ARCADIA
Director - Alvis Hermanis
The Tom Stoppard's intellectual detective story was the classics of the New Riga Theatre in its time. Even people who didn't go to the theatre came to see this performance. Generations of actors and spectators have replaced - and in the new production everything will be different, with just the same text.
It is a unique play because it combines everything that is relevant in both the exact sciences and the humanities – from the history of literature to mathematics and biology. This is the case when the play is smarter than all of us together. And it is a riddle that we will never solve.
During the production of the performance, the actors conducted a research on the themes of the play and prepared lectures, which they presented to the creative team - video recordings of the actors' presentations
