premiere of the year 2021: The Body in the library
Our adaptation of one of the Agatha Christie’s detectives «The Body in the Library». Dramatized and directed by Gunta Klimane.
The play was born during the pandemic. Due to difficult conditions of work, we couldn’t reach the artistic result we wanted. However, we are still happy with this experiment and the insight it gave us to the realistic theatre and the works of Dame Agatha Christie.

«THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW»
Eccentric performance-improvisation with a taste of farce, buffoonery and magic.
The play is based on Italian playwright Carlo Gozzi’s commedia dell’arte “The Love of Three Oranges”
The young prince Tartaglia, the only son of king Silvio XIV, is terminally ill: he has hypochondria, depression, and, according to Doctor Brigella’s diagnosis, every existing diseases. While the king is in deep sorrow, his courtiers are divided into two hostile parties. Clarice, niece of the king, and her fiancé Marcello are doing everything to harm the prince, hoping to overtake the throne. A king’s faithful Advisor Pantalone, in turn, is trying to help the prince and to expose the villains. Meanwhile, two external powerful forces are interfering in the story: an evil witch Morgana and a good magician Tchelio. Morgana curses the prince and he leaves the castle to search for Three Magical Oranges.
What faith is awaiting prince Tartaglia and the other inhabitants of the castle? Will the Magical Oranges bring him hapiness?
The audience should prepare for very loose interpretation of the source, grotesque forms and surrealistic atmosphere.

«Душа подушки»
Детская труппа ART EXPANSION
представляет
детскую психологическую драму
по мотивам пьесы Олжаса Жанайдарова
Жили-были … подушки! Дружили, мягко ссорились, мечтали, вместе дрожали от страха при мыслях о жутком и загадочном Лавдопе, дарили детям замечательные сны. В общем, жили, не тужили, берегли свои наволочки, следовали своим подушечным правилам, пока однажды не появилась среди них новая подушка, не такая как они. Мало того, что у нее начинка оказалась не из пуха и перьев, как у всех, так она еще и с человеком подружилась! Чем же закончится эта удивительно трогательная история?
