INTERSECTION

The Estonian playwright Jaan Tete's play was already in our repertoire 25 years ago under the title "Free Fall." It was one of the first JRT productions for which you could not get tickets. This will be a completely new staging with different actors and different sets. And with a different title, closer to the play's original title in Estonian ("Ristumine Peateega").

The time and place of the action are the 1990s, Estonia, but just as well, of course, it could happen in Latvia today. The genre is ostensibly comedy, but with philosophical undertones. Like a modern fairy tale, where the comic meets the dramatic, the believable the unbelievable. At the center of the events is an odd loner (in the old version it was played by Alvis Hermanis, now by Jānis Skutelis), who lives in a hut in the middle of the forest and in his own head. One night, two strangers come to visit him.

The plot in this case is a secret, because surprises follow one after another. That is why we also ask the audience to keep them secret after seeing the performance and not reveal them, so that it can remain interesting for others too.

The performance takes place at: 25 Lāčplēša Street, Main Hall.

Running time: 2 h 30 min (in 2 acts).

Premiere on January 29, 2027.
