At the piano, music by Maksims Busels
One of the outstanding actresses of the New Riga Theatre, Sandra Kļaviņa, will reveal her own solo performance to audiences for the first time, created especially for Ola, a subtle, witty, and very personal piece.
Sandra Kļaviņa is one of those actresses whose craft lies in nuance. With a single look, a turn of the voice, or a brief pause, she can reveal an entire human world. In one moment she is ironic, in the next fragile, then unexpectedly funny or painfully true.
In this performance, she invites us to take a close look at people who seem familiar to us. So familiar that at some point you get the feeling that perhaps this story is also about me.
"A close-up is a beautiful challenge, in it conversation demands special focus, authenticity, connection. And I want to dare to enjoy it. Nuances, details, what has become taken for granted in everyday life. And to meet someone else in this conversation." Sandra Kļaviņa (actress, author)
When Sandra invited me to compose music for this performance, as soon as I read her text, I felt an immediate emotional connection with the world she had created. I was moved by the way it was written and by its style, and the music began to emerge on its own, as if it had been waiting for this very moment all along...
Composing music is something very intimate for me. Through music I speak, and it is the only form of self-expression in which I can be maximally and completely myself. Right now I have no new roles through which I would have something to say. I don't feel like dancing, I don't feel like singing. And this opportunity to create music for a performance is like a rescue, like something that melts a river long frozen over...
It feels as though I have learned to breathe, create, share, and enjoy the process anew. A process in which a new world opens up, for which huge thanks to Sandra! I suddenly realized that lately, as an artist, I had been missing exactly this opportunity, to speak in a language that does not need to be translated, that does not need to be tried to understand, but simply to be felt... Maksims Busels (music creator and performer, actor)
It will be an evening in which humor alternates with emotion, observations turn into stories, and the seemingly familiar is revealed anew.
We will not reveal anything else.

The performance begins at 7: 00 p.m. Guests are welcome from 6:15 p.m., invited to enjoy a glass of welcome wine and explore Ola's current exhibitions.
