Liepāja Theatre's 120th anniversary season to focus on people and the modern world

Liepāja Theatre is gradually beginning its festive period as it approaches its 120th anniversary season, which next year will be linked to Liepāja's European Capital of Culture programme. According to the announced approach, the season will turn a magnifying glass on people and the world we live in.

The anniversary context highlights not only the theatre's history but also its role in the contemporary cultural landscape. Reaching 120 years is a significant milestone for the theatre, and the coming year will be special as the city takes on the European Capital of Culture title. This means the anniversary programme will become part of a broader cultural initiative involving the whole city and its residents.

The season's themes include an ambition to speak about human experience, the interconnections of modern society, and the order of the world we inhabit. The theatre invites audiences to reflect on both individual and public life.

The anniversary repertoire and special events will combine productions with activities related to the European Capital of Culture programme. In this way, Liepāja Theatre will not only celebrate its own history but also take part in a wider contemporary cultural dialogue.
