On 21 August, the Latvian premiere of the iconic theatrical production Teatro Delusio by the world-renowned German-based theatre company Familie Flöz will take place at Dzintari Concert Hall in Jūrmala.

Premiered in Berlin in 2004, Teatro Delusio immediately gained international acclaim. The production was triumphantly presented at the Edinburgh Festival and has since been performed more than 600 times in 29 countries worldwide - from Europe to Asia and South America. Today, it is regarded the signature work of Familie Flöz and a model of universal theatrical art, accessible to audiences of all cultures, ages, and social backgrounds.

The troupe’s distinctive style is based on a synthesis of mask theatre, music, and exceptional physical mastery, combined with a defining feature of all their productions - sharp satire and refined, intelligent humour. Without uttering a single word, Teatro Delusio tells a story of human ambition and vulnerability, success and achievement, dreams and illusions - with lightness, wit, and unexpected emotional depth.

“Today, we celebrate not only three extraordinary leaders, but three living Symbols of Courage, Dignity, Vision, and Democratic hope. It is our profound honor to present this Life Achievement Award to Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga, Valdas Adamkus, and Toomas Hendrik Ilves.

These Presidents did far more than lead governments. They helped shape the future of their nations after difficult decades of occupation and uncertainty. They restored confidence to their people and strengthened the belief that freedom, democracy, and national identity must always be protected,” Sol Norman Bukingolts

On 21 August, the Latvian premiere of the iconic theatrical production Teatro Delusio by the world-renowned German-based theatre company Familie Flöz will take place at Dzintari Concert Hall in Jūrmala. The performance will be presented within the framework of the international project Baltijas Balva / Baltic Awards.

Teatro Delusio is a virtuoso, wordless comedy theatre piece that, with subtle irony and remarkable precision, reflects on everyday life, dreams, doubts, and hopes. It is a metaphorical performance - a “theatre about theatre” - in which masks, physical theatre, pantomime, and refined acting skills are used to create more than 30 vivid and multi-layered characters. Each of them possesses a distinct personality, inner contradictions, and aspirations, allowing audiences to easily recognise themselves or those around them in these figures.

The production reveals two contrasting sides of the stage: the dazzling illusion of success and the hidden backstage reality of theatrical life, filled with comic situations, inner reflection, ambition, and human vulnerability. The humour here is not superficial, but sharp and observant — humour that invites self-reflection and the freedom to laugh at one’s own recognisable traits. https://www.bilesuparadize.lv/en/event/166919
