The performance is in Latvian, English and Finnish, with surtitles in English and Latvian.
She is a prima donna. Her name is Prima Donna. She uses good creams, wears good clothes, makes good videos. She also knows how to swing her hips well. She thinks about herself, but not always good thoughts. She does not think it is bad if she is not loved. She does not know what to think if she is just another photo on your iPhone.
The promising Finnish director Minna Lund, called one of the brightest and most exciting theatre makers of her generation, turns to the Mona Lisa of the Instagram era and her life. Working together with Latvian and Finnish creative teams, they are creating a moving, warmly ironic view of tears, aging and loneliness that never makes it to live broadcast.
The performance is being created in cooperation with Espoo City Theatre (Espoon teatteri) and Oulu City Theatre (Oulun teatteri). A guest performance tour in Finland is planned for March and April 2027.

Daudzsološā somu režisore Minna Lunda, dēvēta par vienu no savas paaudzes spilgtākajām un aizraujošākajām teātra veidotājām, pievēršas “Instagram” laikmeta Monai Lizai un viņas dzīvei. Strādājot kopā ar latviešu un somu radošo komandu, top aizkustinošs, silti ironisks skatījums uz asarām, vecumu un vientulību, kas nekad nenonāk tiešraidē.
