“Vīrietis dekrētā” is a musical comedy touring Latvia from 28 November 2026 to 9 January 2027, with performances at several venues. The story follows a 60-year-old man who suddenly goes on parental leave and must adapt to a home life where nothing goes according to plan. The production explores masculinity, relationships and whether a “real man” is automatically a good father. Ģirts Ķesteris stars, alongside Raimonda Vazdika, Elīna Bojarkina and Imants Strads. Directed by Imants Strads and written by Raimonda Vazdika, the show is performed in Latvian and intended for adults. The cast may change.
