One of the most prominent Russian theatre creators, Kirill Serebrennikov, has directed an absurd comedy A Town Nearby (Tuvā pilsēta), a staging of the play by Lithuanian dramaturge Marius Ivaskevicius premiered at the Latvian National Theatre.
The play treats of complicated family and interpersonal relationships. 30-year-olds, Ivo and Annika, are in love with each other. However, family life routine, work and three children are all taking their toll on their relationship. Hardly a week goes by without Ivo escaping from his home in order to spend time with his friends and look at his own life from a third-person perspective – from a nearby town. When Annika has finally had enough, she also heads for the other town – to look at what Ivo sees, and at this exact moment their life turns upside down…
The story refers to the time we let our subconscious dreams surface and take over our minds – otherwise ever so rational and useful in our everyday existence.
