About us
The ballet theater "Miracle" is a new Latvian ballet company founded by choreographer Irina Shemyakina. The troupe consists of professional ballet dancers. Our theater offers performances for the whole family and uses a unique "black theater" technique. This method creates a surreal scene where objects and people seem to float freely in a dark space. The combination of the "black theater" effect, a diverse dance language, an exciting plot, and vivid visuals immerses viewers of all ages in the world of a fairy tale, showing that anything is possible in theater.
The "Miracle" ballet theater invites you to its new performance, "Princess and the Dragon," designed for the whole family: adults and children from the age of three. This fairy-tale story is based on medieval knight romances, Scandinavian and Slavic myths and legends. What would a fairy tale be without a princess, a knight, and a dragon? In our performance, you will meet a two-faced goddess, an impressive mermaid, a cunning oddball, and even Koschei with his tireless wife.
Behind the magical adventures and cheerful plot lie timeless questions: what is more important - love or money, beauty or kindness? And most importantly, the performance will remind you that music can transform the world, but without freedom there is no creativity. The ballet is filled with sparkling humor and subtle irony. The dancers' virtuoso skill will delight you, and the unusual light effects will captivate and surprise you.
The story is told through the language of dance; there are no words in the performance.
About the "black light theater"
The uniqueness of our performance lies in the use of the "black light theater" technique. This technique appeared long ago, was gradually improved, developed, and now performances using "black light theater" look incredibly magical. To achieve this effect, a simple optical illusion is used - black is not visible in black darkness, and black objects in the scenes are hidden by mysterious darkness. Add special fluorescent fabric, paint, and ultraviolet lamps, and the effect is multiplied many times over. Then we see objects floating freely before our eyes, fantastic figures and characters appearing in the darkness and disappearing again. If desired, we can make something visible and something invisible. In our performance, we use this technique not only for the sake of an impressive trick, but also to make the fairy-tale story even more wondrous and to justify the theater's name, "Miracle."
Who is the performance for?
We invite families with children to our dance production, especially those whose children find it hard to sit still through a multi-act ballet and who are not very interested in abstract dance. In our performance, everything is built around a simple plot that even small children can understand without words. But for adults, we believe, it offers a chance to search for new meaning and, of course, to immerse themselves in the world of fairy tales, once again believing in the miracle that is so necessary in our difficult times.
Children under 3 years old are admitted free of charge if they do not occupy a separate seat
