The most colourful part of the festival programme was the musical adventure play \u201cKarlsson\u201d – a production based on the favourite story by Astr\u012bda Lindgr\u0113ne, with exciting music by Arne Oit. In the T\u012bn\u016b\u017ei Folk House \u201cKraujas\u201d, a story about the world of adults and childhood, dreams and fantasy came to life, where the youngest spectators were invited to participate in a bun feast, haunting adventures and flights with the mischievous Carlson and Little Brother. <\/p>\n\n
Under the direction of Valdis L\u016bri\u0146\u0161, the play became the essence of the production – in the relationships between the characters, in the evaluations and in the actions. Karlsons, whose vivid character was played by Agris Krapiv\u0146ickis, created unforgettable adventures on stage with his motto \u201cI want to be happy, otherwise I won’t take part\u201d, together with his little brother played by Valerija Ko\u013cago. The cast also included Laima Krieger (Mother), Salvis Spr\u016b\u017es (Father), Laura Purena (Beta), Art\u016brs Zvirbulis (Bose), Tatjana Kopa\u010ds (Young Lady Bokas) and M\u0101rti\u0146\u0161 Rooster (in several roles). <\/p>\n\n
This production, with musical accompaniment by Mad\u0101rs Kalni\u0146\u0161’ jazz band, was addressed to all generations – as Erich Kestner said, “a real children’s book is for readers from eight to eighty”. This fun and energetic production followed this same principle, offering multiple layers of perception for children and adults alike, and proving that in the world of fantasy we are all united by childhood dreams. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6238,"parent":7158,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-7163","festivals","type-festivals","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/operetesteatris.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/festivals\/7163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/operetesteatris.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/festivals"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/operetesteatris.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/festivals"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/operetesteatris.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/festivals\/7158"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/operetesteatris.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/operetesteatris.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
