Latvian Theatre Showcase 2025

The Latvian Theatre Showcase 2025 will take place in Riga and Valmiera from November 5th to 9th.

For the third year in a row, we are proud to present a showcase of productions from the Latvian theatre scene. The year 2025 has become an opportunity for us, the curators, to break our own boundaries, to take creative risks, and to bring unexpected choices to the program. We allowed ourselves to play without rules — and that spirit has become the foundation of this year’s selection. This time, we’ve included premieres from recent seasons, works by directors not only from Latvia, performances staged outside of Riga, and shows that go beyond traditional audiences and stage formats. Step by step — through dialogue, debate, and bold decisions — this vibrant lineup came together.

Anyone attending SKATE 2025 will immediately sense this diversity. It echoes our 2023 edition, when SKATE joined forces with the Baltic Drama Forum — and this November, Riga once again will become a hub for theatre professionals from across Europe. The European Theatre Convention Conference will take place at Dailes Theatre, making the city a gathering point for exchange, insight, and inspiration.

This diversity and intensity are exactly what we hope will spark meaningful discussions with our guests — conversations we consider essential to the spirit and purpose of this festival. Latvian theatre deserves to be seen, discussed, and shared. We warmly invite you to Riga from November 5–9, 2025, to experience it with us.
