In all the performances, a special role is given to the magic created by the songs of the festive season – both well-known and re-composed. Rustam Bagirov, the author of the music “Santa’s Rebellion”, admits that writing music for a children’s show is undeniably a challenge, because the music should sound easy, the melodies should be “sticky”: “It is very interesting to create music where every song, even the sad one, to a bright Christmas mood. I listened to a lot of popular Christmas songs, researched their harmonies to find the holiday code. ”
The performances are very different artistically, but they all have the joy and exaltation of the holiday season.
“We discover many different characters to associate with, as well as events in which we recognize situations and people’s actions. The ability to look at yourself from the sidelines through an associative image is very effective. In addition, if we have given all our energies to the characters and role of images, I believe that positive emotions can be felt beyond the screen, ”says Vija Mežale, actress of Liepāja Puppet Theater.
Just like this holiday season, the characters I portray in the show “Dwarfs and Mezavec” teach patience, love and acceptance in a different way. But in the show “Olafa’s Christmas”, together with the audience, I have the opportunity to perform the most beautiful exercise of imagination – to experience the snow under the guise of magic. In Liepāja, where snow is very rare, it is a special pleasure ”, the actress of Liepāja Puppet Theater Inga Dzintare enthusiastically shares the feelings recorded in the video recordings.
