Father Silence

Rasa Bugavičute-Pēce • Director - Valters Sīlis

Concert and ball

Unexpectedly, Maija has received an invitation to her father's anniversary concert - her father is a well-known choirmaster in public. Although her father has not been present in her life, Maija decides to go to the anniversary in order to find answers to the questions that have long been building up inside her - why did their paths never cross? Is there anything in her that she inherited from her father? What is it like to have a sister? How can she avoid repeating her parents' mistakes in her own life? And could he finally, once and for all, publicly acknowledge that Maija is his daughter?

Longing, anticipation, tragicomic assumptions and the realization that you contain an enormous amount of what seems to come from a complete stranger shake, confuse and move you, and all of it unfolds to the accompaniment of choral music.

The performance has been nominated for 1 award at the 2023/2024 "Spēlmaņu nakts" awards: "New Work of the Year in Dramaturgy" (AWARD)!
