THE REPERTOIRE OF THE ART EXPANSION theatre group
(PLAYS IN ENGLISH)
“OH, MON DIEU!”
An experimental original theatre production by Art Expansion Theatre Group.
France, 1980s. Monsieur Andre Dubois is raising four daughters alone. Recently, to the house where there’s been enough chaos already due to the girls’ clashing characters, moves in Andre’s new wife Margot. As could be expected, Margot brings even more resonance to this family. The girls do not like their new stepmom, who is only a few years older than they are. To get along under one roof is not easy to anyone. For Danielle, Monsieur Dubois’s 17-years-old daughter, it appears to be the most difficult. The atmosphere in the house starts to overheat, when Danielle suddenly announces that she is pregnant.
Duration : 1,5 h
Author and director of the production: Gunta Klimane
«A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM»: 2022
An experimental theatre play by “Art Expansion” theatre studio students. Based on “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” play by W. Shakespeare.
«The Body in the library»: the premiere of 2021
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»:
the Premiere of 2020
Commedia dell’arte based on Italian playwright’s Carlo Gozzi’s fairy tale «The Love for Three Oranges». A very peculiar, vivid and humorous show for the lovers of classical Italian comedy.
