À propos

Dirty Deal Teatro’s production “Alfas” received the award for Small-Scale Production of the Year. Its director, Valters Sīlis, was named Director of the Year, while composer Edgars Raginskis received the award for New Musical Work or Musical Design of the Year. The music theatre production “Alfas” was inspired by events that took place in Jēkabpils in January 2011, when four police officers and a civilian carried out an armed robbery at a gambling hall. They subsequently fled, and a shoot-out occurred when they were apprehended on the banks of the Daugava. The consequences were tragic: a police officer was killed in the line of duty while attempting to arrest the robbers. The incident coincided with the lowest point of the economic crisis and served as a stark reminder of the values associated with the boom years—bravado and the public celebration of an expensive, status-driven lifestyle built on credit. Although these events took place more than ten years ago and may seem like the distant past, they still raise important questions: how do we, as a society, understand the words “determination”, “strength”, “masculinity”, and “heroism”?
