Actress Ilze Kuzule-Skrastiņa on her solo play Visas viņas at the Dailes Theatre
Actress Ilze Kuzule-Skrastiņa recalls how her solo play Visas viņas took shape at the Dailes Theatre in Riga. She wanted to be able to put her name to every word spoken in it.
Ilze Kuzule-Skrastiņa, an actress at the Dailes Theatre in Riga, has shared her memories of creating the solo play Visas viņas ("All of Them" in the feminine), staged at that theatre. A solo play, or monospectacle, is a production with just one performer on stage. The Russian-language service of Latvian public media reported on it and offers the production to watch as a video.
What the play needed to be
Kuzule-Skrastiņa says she wanted a solo show in which she could literally sign her name under every word uttered. As she explains it, audiences come to the theatre and find only her on stage, so people are really coming to see her.
About the production
The headline of the Russian-language publication says the show tells a whole life story in about half an hour. The source gives no further details about the content, the director or performance dates.
