Poetry Concert A KNIFE STUCK IN THE HEART

The production combines the existentially charged poetry of Spanish poet Federico García Lorca with the music of legendary Latvian singer-songwriter Haralds Sīmanis, in which the moods of Andalusia, Romani culture, and world music intertwine.

The poetry concert is based on the historic 1980s production "The Cry," where García Lorca’s poetry was heard in music composed by Haralds Sīmanis. In the new version, this material takes on a contemporary stage interpretation while preserving its emotional and musical power.

The performance features actors Guna Zariņa and Gerds Lapoška, musicians Ilze Grunte, Andris Grunte, and Zane Šmite. The production’s artist and cellist is Dace Ignatova.
