Life is full of fun, silliness and surprises, but every one of their fun activities, which are always well-intentioned, ends rather sadly&#8230; <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bunnies don&#8217;t hang their heads and are ready to make amends (how familiar, right?&#8230;), and &#8230; Paukam is again &#8211; \u201cI-D-E-J-A!\u201d A new adventure begins&#8230; What will it bring for the forest dwellers?<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway &#8211; bunnies have the most important, greatest value &#8211; a good heart! That is why this story ends well and they are forgiven. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Broadway-style song play based on the popular fairy tale \u201cPooh and Schmuck\u201d by Enida Blayton. The expressive movement choreography, the vivid costume concept and the set design of the Ozolaine forest environment will delight both children of pre-school and younger grades, their parents and everyone who loves excitement, fun and has fond childhood memories. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children&#8217;s songs by the great Latvian melodist Arv\u012bds \u017dilinskis, which were popular in their time no less than the works of Raimonds Pauls or other melodists &#8211; &#8220;R\u012bta rosme&#8221;, &#8220;Dziesmi\u0146a par m\u012b\u013co m\u0101mi\u0146u&#8221;, Ka\u0137\u012bts mans&#8221;, &#8220;Dziesma par slinko J\u0101n\u012bti&#8221;, &#8220;Pulkstens nine jau zvana&#8221; and many, many others will be sung by Art\u016brs Mangulis, Em\u012bls Kivlenieks and Anastasija Vorobjova, who have already made a name for themselves in the operas <em>Clevie<\/em> and <em>The Merry Widow<\/em>, and Latvian Academy of Music students Sab\u012bne Krilova, whom we know from the LTV show Rad\u012bti muzikai, Ansis B\u0113ti\u0146\u0161, Em\u012bls Klau\u017es, Val\u0113rija Ko\u013cago, Laura Purena, Laima Kr\u012bgere, Tatjana Kopa\u010da, Art\u016brs Zvirbulis, Vja\u010deslavs Aleksejevs, accompanied by pianist Mad\u0101rs Kalni\u0146\u0161 and a jazz band.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valdis L\u016bri\u0146\u0161, the director of the production, says: \u201cThis will be a musical performance close to the world of childhood &#8211; an interplay with the little spectators and their parents &#8211; games, friends, search for experiences and adventures, premature independence, loneliness and the return home when\u201d gloves, socks and boots are snoozing in the corner \u201c, where a dear mother sings a song for sleep. The story will be about the good that always conquers the evil!\u201d <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Various activities for children<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the courtyard of T\u012bn\u016b\u017ei Manor, children were greeted by various activities that delighted the little ones until the start of the performance. Face painting, balloon twisting, which the masters transformed into various animals. The little ones could also try their hand at creative workshops, making windmills, jewellery and painting stones, as well as having their photo taken in the guise of Pooh and Smaug.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><\/strong>Director <strong>Valdis L\u016bri\u0146\u0161<br\/><\/strong>Choreographer <strong>Alberts Kivlenieks<br\/><\/strong>Costume Designer <strong>Jurate Jurj\u0101ne-Silakakti\u0146a<br\/><\/strong>Set Designer <strong>Oskars Dre\u0123is<br\/><\/strong>Producer and Musical Consultant <strong>Agija Ozoli\u0146a-Kozlovska<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6269,"parent":7173,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-7174","festivals","type-festivals","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/operetesteatris.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/festivals\/7174","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\/7173"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/operetesteatris.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/operetesteatris.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
