On August 30, viewers at The Embassy of Latgale GORS will have the chance to experience Ģirts Krūmiņš’s solo performance “The Lonely Planet Island” — a candid story of self-discovery and an emotional journey through the actor’s life crises and transformations.
Ģirts Krūmiņš, well-known to audiences for his long career at the New Riga Theatre, at one point decided to stop — to leave the stage, say goodbye to his familiar environment, and embark on a journey to places he had never been. This time away from the theatre became the foundation for the performance, created in a stand-up style and, at the same time, a personal and artistically powerful self-portrait.
“The Lonely Planet Island” is a story about his childhood, surviving pandemic quarantines, roles that were never played, the experience of separation, and those moments in life that make it worth living. “The title of the work is The Lonely Planet Island, but I want to say that a person is never truly alone on their planet. What saved me was that I suddenly felt the support of people and friends,” emphasizes Ģirts Krūmiņš.
The performance lasts a little over an hour, during which the audience is not only allowed but even encouraged to take photos, comment, and applaud. It is a live, presence-based meeting with the artist, a return to the audience with an open heart and a genuine desire to share.
Tickets can be purchased at The Embassy of Latgale GORS box office at Pils Street 4, Rēzekne, as well as through the “Biļešu Paradīze” ticket system in box offices and online at www.latgalesgors.lv.
