DOCENTES is a theatre play in Riga at Jaunais Rīgas teātris, running from 6 November to 13 December 2026. The production explores the modern university and the boundaries between research, education and the shaping of socio-political views. For social psychology professor Johanna, a study of the workplace climate becomes a personal test when the university rector wants to change its narrative. Combining social criticism with elements of humour, the play examines a scientist’s responsibility and integrity. Written by Finnish playwright Juha Jokela and directed by Linda Zaharova, it features Guna Zariņa, Sandra Kļaviņa, Elita Kļaviņa, Evelīna Priede, Ivars Krasts and Ričards Murāns. The running time is 3 hours 5 minutes, with two acts. Address: Lāčplēša iela 25, Riga.
