BRASAS PAGALMA DAINAS
performance for children and families
Summer in Brasa in the early 2000s. Eight-year-old Ričards is bored at home until he works up the courage to go look for friends in the courtyard, where he has never been before. It’s a challenge that requires not only courage and patience, but also an open and selfless heart.
In the Great Cemetery near his home, Ričards meets an unusual companion—an imaginary friend. This encounter marks the beginning of a special summer full of adventures.
Based on real childhood memories, this story takes us back to a time when money was still called “lats,” children didn’t have cell phones, and life unfolded in the courtyards. There, we built forts, overcame trials both big and small, and had adventures that will stay with us forever. Because the greatest miracles are often right next to us—we just have to see them.
