Arturs Millers

Event in Vichy

Social detective

Show in Russian with subtitles in Latvian and English.

Artūrs Müller (1915-2005) is a 20th century second-half American author, accomplished playwright and screenwriter, winner of numerous literary awards, including the Pulitzer Prize and four Tony Awards. On the day he passed away, the lights were turned off on Broadway for a few minutes in his mourning.

Arthur Miller's play "It Happened at Vichy" was named by The New York Times as one of the most important plays of our time, which "returned the big theater to the audience". This psychological thriller, social detective, intellectual drama about responsibility, choice and human self-respect has not lost its relevance or sharpness for more than half a century because the historical circumstances here serve no more than decorations that can change over time, mark time and space, but not the essence of what is happening. The theme of the play and the questions posed to its characters are still relevant today.

... France, Vichy, 1942. A whole company of jesters has gathered in a small room: an artist, an electrician, a businessman, a waiter, an actor, an Austrian prince... They have gathered not quite willingly: they have all been detained on the street. Arrested no. At least not yet. But they all have something to hide - from others or from themselves. The examination of documents suddenly turns into a test of masculinity, selflessness and compassion, a test of humanity.
