Celebrations. In honor of Riga cinema Splendid Palace for the centenary, a silent film by the American comedian Buster Keaton will be screened on Saturday, December 9 Sherlock Jr/Sherlock Jr. (1924) accompanied by original music by composer Kārlis Lāčas. The music was created specially Splendid Palace for the anniversary evening. Singer Aija Vītoliņa, saxophonist Māris Jēkabsons, accordionist Artūrs Noviks, guitarist Rihards Goba, double bassist Jānis Stafeckis, percussionist Kaspars Grigalis and percussionist Ainis Zavackis will take part in the performance. The movie Sherlock Jr tells the story of a film mechanic who longs to become a detective. In his work, Buster Keaton masterfully and with light humor plays with the concept of “screen magic”. The artistic tricks performed by the author of the film still amaze and delight.

Premiere. Troupe Quadrifron has prepared a new production The beautiful darkness. The work of director Klāvas Meļļ and playwright Ances Strazdas is presented as an Advent fairy tale about longing for beauty. “The magical realism show follows the wondrous story of Baba Yaga, a man with a beard that is definitely glued on, a rooster with a snake’s tail, two spas, a holiday gathering, a severed umbilical cord and a talent that fills in but drains,” the authors promise. “I think that in the end, something between a picture book and an audio play, a Christmas tree for adults, a miniature large-scale production and a token evening will be seen on the stage,” adds the director.
