Theatre festival «Teātris tuvplānā» hits marathon mood on a storm-hit third day

The theatre festival «Teātris tuvplānā» has entered its third day, and among organizers, artists and audience members a distinct marathon-like mood has set in. Performances follow one another day after day, each followed by discussions with audiences and creative teams, along with unplanned encounters and conversations happening in between events. Festival participants must rush from one venue to another, and this intense pace has blurred the sense of time — at points it becomes hard to recall which day was yesterday and which the day before.

A storm changes the picture

Unlike the previous days, the festival's third day will be hard to confuse with any other — not because of the programme, but because of the weather. The region has been hit by a storm, disrupting the sunny, beach-heat atmosphere that had characterized the festival up to this point. As a result, the third day stands out as something of a turning point, with the meteorological conditions becoming one of the most notable features of the day.

The festival continues to offer a dense schedule of performances and discussions, demanding stamina and flexibility from participants as they adapt to both the artistic rhythm and the weather-imposed one. Despite the tiring pace and stormy conditions, festival participants keep actively taking part in performances and the conversations that follow, keeping discussion of what they have seen alive.

Overall, the third day shows that this year's «Teātris tuvplānā» has become an event combining artistic intensity with the influence of natural forces, creating an experience that participants are likely to remember longer than the festival's other days.
