🎭 Latvian Woman in Italy (Only) Introduces Herself. Part 2: “MOTHERS”
Latvian Theatre in Italy “Momento” (Rome, Italy)
In collaboration with Latvian diaspora theatre groups from Ireland and Denmark
✍️ Playwright: Regnārs Vaivars
🎬 Director: Lāsma Pintere, in collaboration with Regnārs Vaivars
🎭 Genre: Drama
🗣️ Performance Language: Latvian with live simultaneous English translation via headphones
❤️ What does it mean to be a mother, a daughter, a woman — and a Latvian living far from home?
We carry our roots wherever life takes us. We build new homes, make choices, follow dreams and sometimes leave behind people and places we love. Yet the invisible bonds between mothers and daughters remain, connecting generations across countries, distances and time.
🌍 Inspired by real conversations with Latvian women living in Italy, playwright Regnārs Vaivars created a theatrical exploration of identity, belonging, personal choices, illusions and the realities of life abroad.
🎭 In this second part, “MOTHERS”, actresses from Latvian diaspora theatres in Ireland and Denmark join the production, portraying the mothers of Latvian women living in Italy and bringing deeply personal stories to the stage.
💔 What does it mean to leave your homeland but never truly leave it behind?
❤️ How do mothers and daughters remain connected across borders and generations?
🏡 Where is home — in the place we live, the people we love, or the memories we carry?
🤝 How do our choices shape who we become?
✨ This is a powerful and deeply human story about women, motherhood, home and identity. About roots and distance, closeness and love, strength and vulnerability.
🏆 GRAND PRIX – Best Production, PLATS solis 2025
The production received the Grand Prix Award for Best Production at the Latvian Diaspora Theatre Festival “PLATS solis 2025”, recognised by both the expert jury and the audience.
🌟 Actress Sandra Bondarevska also received the Best Supporting Actress Award for her portrayal of Anastasia, recognised by both the expert jury and the Friends' Jury.
💭 Behind every spoken word and every silence lies an entire world — inviting us to remember our own experiences, reflect on the choices we have made, and recognise where those choices have taken us.
❤️ Because wherever life takes us, the stories of our mothers remain part of who we are.
🎭 Latviešu sieviete Itālijā (tikai) iepazīstina ar sevi. 2. daļa. “MĀTES”
Latviešu teātris Itālijā “Momento” (Roma, Itālija)
Sadarbībā ar latviešu diasporas teātriem Īrijā un Dānijā
✍️ Autors: Regnārs Vaivars
🎬 Režisore: Lāsma Pintere, sadarbībā ar Regnāru Vaivaru
🎭 Žanrs: Drāma
🗣️ Izrādes valoda: Latviešu ar sinhrono tulkojumu angļu valodā austiņās
❤️ Ko nozīmē būt mātei, meitai, sievietei — un latvietei tālu prom no dzimtenes?
Lai kur dzīve mūs aizvestu, savas saknes mēs nesam sev līdzi. Veidojam jaunas mājas, pieņemam lēmumus, sekojam sapņiem un reizēm atstājam aiz sevis cilvēkus un vietas, ko mīlam. Taču neredzamās saites starp mātēm un meitām nepazūd — tās vieno paaudzes pāri valstīm, attālumiem un laikam.
🌍 Iedvesmojoties no patiesām sarunām ar Itālijā dzīvojošām latviešu sievietēm, Regnārs Vaivars radījis savu teatrālo redzējumu par identitāti, piederību, dzīves izvēlēm, ilūzijām un realitāti svešumā.
🎭 Izrādes otrajā daļā “MĀTES” iestudējumam pievienojas latviešu diasporas teātru aktrises no Īrijas un Dānijas, atveidojot Itālijā dzīvojošo sieviešu mātes un uz skatuves izspēlējot dziļi personiskus stāstus.
💔 Ko nozīmē aizbraukt no dzimtenes, bet nekad to īsti neatstāt?
❤️ Kā saglabāt saikni starp māti un meitu, ja viņas šķir valstis un paaudzes?
🏡 Kur ir mūsu mājas — vietā, kur dzīvojam, cilvēkos, kurus mīlam, vai atmiņās, ko nesam sev līdzi?
🤝 Kā mūsu dzīves izvēles veido to, par ko kļūstam?
✨ Tas ir emocionāls un patiess stāsts par sievietēm, mātišķību, mājām un identitāti. Par saknēm un attālumu, tuvību un mīlestību, spēku un ievainojamību.
🏆 GRAND PRIX – Labākā izrāde, “PLATS solis 2025”
Radošajā latviešu diasporas teātru saietā “PLATS solis 2025” iestudējums ieguva Grand Prix balvu kā labākā izrāde gan ekspertu, gan skatītāju vērtējumā.
🌟 Aktrise Sandra Bondarevska par Anastasijas lomu saņēma Labākās otrā plāna aktrises balvu gan ekspertu, gan draugu žūrijas vērtējumā.
💭 Aiz katras izrunātās frāzes un katra noklusējuma uz skatuves paveras vesela pasaule — aicinot atcerēties paša piedzīvoto, pārdomāt savas izvēles un ieraudzīt, kurp tās mūs aizvedušas.
❤️ Jo, lai kur dzīve mūs aizvestu, mūsu māšu stāsti vienmēr paliek daļa no mums pašiem.
