Skroderdienas in Silmači in several Latvian cities!
In 2027, it will be 125 years since the premiere of Rūdolfs Blaumanis’s play “Skroderdienas in Silmači,” which took place on January 30, 1902. To mark this significant anniversary, in 2027 we invite audiences to enjoy the spirit of “Skroderdienas” not only in summer, but also in January! Of course, a broad tour will follow in the summer, visiting several Latvian cities and inviting everyone to celebrate Jāņi with the Silmači family.
Under the auspices of the Latvian Youth Theatre, popular Latvian theatre actors and singers have come together in one splendid production to bring Rūdolfs Blaumanis’s story to life, with humor, songs, love twists and turns, and, of course, a wedding!
Audiences can expect a lively atmosphere, witty dialogue, and beloved characters that have for generations been an inseparable part of the Latvian summer and Jāņi festivities. This performance is a chance both to fall in love with a classic all over again and to experience a true Latvian festive spirit together with family and friends.
