The Latvian National Theater hosted the premiere of the play 'Silk Snake', directed by Laura and based on Guntis Bojārs' literary work.
On February 26, the Latvian National Theater premiered a new production titled 'Silk Snake', inspired by the book of the same name by Guntis Bojārs. This production marks the directorial debut of Laura at the National Theater, showcasing her vision in bringing Bojārs' complex themes to life. The play features a principal performance by Normunds Laizāns, who explores the intricate dynamics of love, desire, and betrayal within this nearly monodrama.
The source material is Guntis Bojārs' first literary work published in 2008, and he is well-known for his role as a creator of the show 'Aizliegtais paņēmiens' and as the chief editor of the LTV News Service. 'Silk Snake' narrates the quest for true love against the backdrop of trust issues and the often-destructive nature of sexual desire, presenting a thought-provoking narrative that resonates with many.
The adaptation for the stage was crafted by Artūrs Dīcis, who has captivated audiences even in the promotional material, indicating a compelling approach to the storytelling. The play seems to challenge both actors and viewers to reflect on the nuances of human desires and the obstacles that arise in the pursuit of authentic connections, which is particularly significant in contemporary society.
