A concert and a ball

Unexpectedly, Maija has received an invitation to her father’s anniversary concert, a well-known choir conductor in public life. Although her father has not been present in her life, Maija decides to go to the anniversary in order to find answers to the questions that have long been building up inside her - why did their paths never cross? Is there something she has inherited from her father? What is it like to have a sister? How can she avoid repeating her parents’ mistakes in her own life? And can he finally, once and for all, publicly admit that Maija is his daughter?

Longing, waiting, tragicomic assumptions and the realization that there is an extraordinary amount in you of someone as if unknown, shake, confuse and move you, and all this happens to the accompaniment of choral music.

The production was nominated for the 2023/2024 Spēlmaņu nakts award in the category: New Work in Playwriting of the Year (AWARD).
