Interactive theatre piece in Alsunga urges audiences to vote in Saeima elections

The town of Alsunga hosted the premiere of an interactive theatre production called '4. oktobra rīts' (Morning of October 4th), a performance built as a game that actively involves the audience rather than leaving them as passive spectators.

A format built to provoke thought

The creators designed the piece to challenge viewers with debatable, thought-provoking questions, pushing them to reflect on their own positions. The central aim is to encourage people to make a choice and not stay on the sidelines when it comes to the upcoming Saeima elections.

Audience reactions

Following the show, attendees admitted that deciding whom to vote for this time felt considerably harder than before. This suggests the interactive format achieved one of its core goals: sparking genuine reflection and internal debate rather than simple entertainment.

By blending interactive theatre elements with civic engagement, the production aims to demonstrate that every vote can matter, and that avoiding a choice is, in itself, a kind of choice.
