Two Generations Coexist in the New Riga Theatre. A Review of Theatre News

The play "Don Quixote," presented at the New Riga Theatre, creatively explores the conflict between dreams and societal constraints through a modern lens, featuring a multi-generational cast.

The play "Don Quixote," performed at the New Riga Theatre in Latvia, takes an eclectic approach to the classic narrative of Miguel de Cervantes, not aiming to encompass the entire story but highlighting its core themes. Modern costumes and elements, like actors rapping, blend with traditional storytelling, introducing a unique twist. The central conflict revolves around the character of Quixote, interpreted by Kaspars Znotiņš, who grapples with a society that seeks to keep him from pursuing his literary passions. This dynamic is visually represented by a remarkable horse crafted by the artist Mārtiņš Vilkārsis, underpinning the narrative's fantastical elements against a realistic backdrop.
