Serious Comedy “All In!” | In Smiltene

There are people who draw, people who sing, others play the piano, climb mountains, ride bicycles, or go on long walks. Everyone enjoys life according to their own tastes and possibilities. But if the swift turns of life throw you off course, and in midlife, you're forced to find a solution, a dead-end often ensues.

When you determinedly go to the bank to ask for a loan, but you're denied because you're 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, in 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 a thrilling survival battle between two actors.

Who will prevail? Come and see for yourself!

Director: Intars Rešetins-Pētersons

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

“Working with Jordi Galceran's brilliantly written play “All In!” (original title “The Credit”), as a director, I'm always drawn to the opportunity to dig deeper beyond the surface layer. And if you manage to reach the core, the resulting satisfaction is almost always much greater. This time is no exception, and creating a performance 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 dedicated the best years of their lives to the stage and know the “craft”, thus excellently enhancing the collaboration with their contribution. This play is cunning. In a good way, of course. It entertains, shakes things up, and raises questions. Our jointly chosen genre designation for the performance “serious comedy” is no accident. It allows us to talk about serious matters through jokes, and vice versa,” describes the director Intars Rešetins-Pētersons.
