Serious Comedy “All In!” | RIGA

There are people who draw, there are people who sing, others play the piano, climb mountains, ride bicycles, or go for long walks. Everyone enjoys life according to their preferences and possibilities. But if life's rapid twists throw you out of the boat and you find yourself in midlife forced to find a solution, you often face a dead end.

When you resolutely go to the bank to ask for a loan, but they refuse because you are too old, and you have neither a guarantor nor collateral, and your sister helplessly places her heavy hand on your shoulder to push you to your knees, driven by desperation you can only utter to the bank director: “If you don’t give me a loan, I will seduce and sleep with your wife.”

This will truly be an exciting survival battle between two actors.

Who will prevail? Come and see for yourself!

Director: Intars Rešetins-Pētersons

Starring: Intars Rešetins-Pētersons and Normunds Laizāns or Artis Robežnieks

“Working with Jordi Galceran’s excellently written play “All In!” (original title “The Credit”), as a director, I am always attracted to the opportunity to delve deeper than the surface layer. And if you manage to reach the core, the result is almost always more gratifying. This time is no exception, and creating a show together with two leading actors of my generation - Artis Robežnieks and Normunds Laizāns, is not only an unprecedented experience but also a creative challenge, as both masters have devoted their best years to the stage and know the craft, thus superbly enhancing the collaboration with their contribution. This play is cunning. In a good way, of course. It entertains, shakes things up, and poses questions. Our jointly chosen genre designation for the performance “serious comedy” is not accidental. It allows us to talk about serious matters through jokes, and vice versa,” describes the show's director Intars Rešetins-Pētersons.
