On September 1, the Small Hall of the Mikhail Chekhov Riga Russian Theatre will host the premiere of a new production for children and families titled "Princesses' Olympic Games." The show draws on stories by Estonian writer and illustrator Piret Raud.
The production is aimed at audiences aged five and up. It invites young viewers to follow an unusual Olympic-style competition where sporting contests blend with fantasy. According to the creators, the piece places strong emphasis on courage and the ability to look at familiar things from a different angle.
The creators note that the production centers on princesses who diverge from the typical fairy-tale image — characters marked by boldness and, at times, a certain oddness that sets them apart from conventional princess portrayals.
