A collage of workdays
Everyone has their own rhythm for how we wake up to go to work. Some wake up several hours before leaving home so they can slowly get ready for the day. Others at the last minute, getting ready in a rush. It is Monday morning, and for many it is the first day after the weekend. Some have a shift schedule and their day off may be tomorrow. Almost every job, when looked at from the outside, seems either too physically demanding, too boring, too stressful, but the people who do this work have found their own rhythm in it, their own technique and their own joy and satisfaction in what they do. But there are jobs that, from the outside, seem almost impossible to do, and yet people do them. There are people who, in their everyday lives, get to know the full palette of human character and are in direct contact with countless lives, dramas and fateful choices.
The performance will follow the ordinary everyday lives of six characters, which for many of us would perhaps be the most unusual day. What do these characters' everyday lives reveal about the environment in which we actually live and often choose not to notice? How do the characters in the performance learn to live with the fact that their Mondays are by no means as ordinary as they are for the rest of us.
The performance has been nominated for the 2025/2026 Spēlmaņu nakts awards in the categories: "Best Small-Scale Production of the Year", "Director of the Year" (Valters Sīlis), "New Work in Dramaturgy of the Year" (Sandis Pēcis, Anete Rimkus, Edgars Ozoliņš, Laura Jeruma, Kārlis Ērglis, Karīna Tatarinova).
