Sila ezera nolaišana is a theatre production in Rīga at Nacionālais teātris, running from 19 November 2026 to 24 January 2027. Based on a play by Jānis Poruks, it centres on draining Druviena’s Lake Sila to gain land for grain and on the clash between human actions and nature. The Forest Father and the Lake Mother reject what people have done, while Sīmanis and Maija’s relationship unfolds against this wider conflict. Director Mārcis Broks expands the confrontation into a struggle between people and natural forces. The cast includes Kārlis Reijers, Ilze Reknere, Bruno Bitenieks, Ivars Puga, Juris Hiršs and Līga Zeļģe. Address: Kronvalda bulvāris 2, Rīga.
