Every year when the Latvian Theatre Showcase takes place, a special edition of the newspaper “Specifically Latvian” is created in cooperation with performing arts critics and authors reflecting on current events in Latvian performing arts and providing an in-depth introduction to the Latvian theater and dance scene and processes. The newspaper is also available in the electronic format, thus creating an internationally available informative archive about Latvian theater shows.

Although the Latvian Theatre Showcase does not take place in year 2022, continuing the tradition, newspaper “Specifically Latvian” is created and in an electronic format can be found here –
