Destroy the benchmark / day of beauty

Golden Temple ★★★★

Director Henry Aray

Latvian National Theater

At one time, a prominent Latvian cultural worker, who had been in Japan, honestly admitted that sushi that can be obtained in Latvia is not at all like the original. A similar risk is, of course, anyone who thinks about the paraphrase of one of the forms of Japanese theater in Latvia. Choosing a novel by Yukio Mishima Golden temple Lelde Stumbres’ dramatization (Inguna Becker translation), and director Henry Aray, of course, walks on a thin ice, but he can find a lot in his production.

Anthropologist Svetlana Rizhakova 2016 on the portal Kroders.lv Has published a review of the articles dedicated to Buto Dance Technique, published by Simon Orinsk in 2015 Attic. Rizhakova writes: « Interestingly, the idea fits into the characteristic national romantic interpretation model, which connects the pathos of protest with the spirit of ethnic unity, maintained by small » knowledgeable « groups, clairvoyants that have preserved this holy knowledge through the centuries. » Simon Orinsky’s new show is invited as a choreographer of movement, but this is a text -based production in which the stylized score of movement combined with Adrian Tom Kulpe’s visual image and Plato Buravicka’s music creates a peculiar world with its aesthetic, stylistic and content.

Jukio Mishima (1925-1970) is basically known for the Latvian viewer for the work staged by Alvis Herman’s twice at the new Riga Theater Marquis De Sada. Novel Golden temple Latvian was published in the book in 1997. But overall, Mishim’s heritage is still not available in Latvian so that we can say that we can get a semi -full picture of this writer who chose to finish his life for himself. For example, a play with a provocative name My friend Hitler Latvian was staged only in amateur theaters (and with a changed name).

Henry Araya’s production is a message that the collapse of idealized notions causes the young man to be destroyed and the desire to destroy the apparent benchmark for beauty that has dazzled with external perfection but disappointed in content. The poor young man in the portrayal of Uldis Siliņš in Midzoguci’s pure physically physically National Theater’s New Hall in front of the audience sitting in the eyes of the audience sitting in his exterior, as if the frozen form. There is the beauty of the Golden Temple as a building (to whom we believe in the word) is the disappointment of religious rituals and the knowledge that the temple is able to provide, and is the perfect opposite of this ideal – the physically incomplete Kashivagi, an attractive physically incomplete in Kashivagi, which has been able to open up in the direction of his disability. Voldemārs Šoriņš, a convincing hypocritical priest, is moving as a fervent apprentice Curakava – another student of the Latvian Academy of Culture Rudolfs Sprukulis. Liene Sebrei and Inara Slucka have a relatively disadvantageous task to portray several peripheral heroes, highlighting their tipage’s brightest features, such as Slucka’s mother’s role.

I want to close with a little nasty, but not a bad wish: since both of the new director Aryja’s productions at the Latvian National Theater (also Fire) related to burning as a form of protest, don’t give him matches!

Theater

Recommends Atis Rozentals

Divejis in the vyrtu, nasitit nabashnik ★★★★

Director Oleg Shaposhnikov, Maris Korsiets Daugavpils Theater

The localization of the tragicomedy of Ukrainian playwright Alexander Mardin in Latgale provides two ambiguous but vivid characters of women, which seduces with vitality and life -making skills. We can, of course, argue whether what the two heroes are doing is the only way to get on the green branch, and as we can see, it is not without worrying experiences, but overall the show is a testament to the power and ingenuity of a woman.

Greeks ★★★

Director Elmar Senkov

Liepaja Theater

Occasionally, the theater announces the last time and later changes its mind, but it is better to be better off and if the third part of Elmar Sennkov’s trilogy has not been seen, to watch it on April 27. The Greek myths’ fading of world events today and reflection on the nature of the theater intertwines an intriguing adventure that fascinates even if all the author’s guidance fails to decipher.

Mary ★★★ ★★

Director Elmar Senkov

LKA Theater House Horse Mail

At the same time, the show and a diploma work, so the director, sharing the roles and giving tasks, expects the actors to be judged on their performance. Senkov acts freely with Anton Chekhova Seagullbut also gives his version of the scandalous show of Konstantin Trepleev, which so angry with his mother. In addition to the talented students of the LCA, Inese Kuchinska and Laura Siliņa will also play.
