End of Theater Season: Awakening Heart Muscles Through Togetherness
After watching over 100 performances, it is noted that theater can still move only when born from a desire to be together.
The past theater season in Latvia has left mixed feelings. Having watched more than 100 performances on various stages, one becomes aware that the viewer's heart muscles have grown languid. This fatigue can only be overcome by works created from a genuine desire to be with the audience, rather than from a need to take a stance.
The observation indicates that the most touching shows are those where artists and the audience create a shared experience. These are performances that unite rather than divide. Such an approach can revive even the most exhausted emotions.
Although the author's name is not specified, these notes on the past season remind us that the essence of theater lies in contact and togetherness. Without this, performances risk remaining mere formal events.
