Hi! I’m Gerds Lapoška, an actor and director from Latvia. I was born in Jūrmala in 1999 and graduated from the Latvian Academy of Culture, where I studied dramatic theatre acting in the course led by Alvis Hermanis at the New Riga Theatre.
Right now, I’m part of the New Riga Theatre team, working as both an actor and director. In 2023, I directed my first original piece there — "A Grey Summer, A Sunny Winter". Alongside acting, I continue to direct various performances and events across different genres and spaces.
I’ve had the chance to collaborate with many artists and institutions like the Latvian Radio Choir, the State Choir Latvija, and organist Iveta Apkalna, creating concert performances, festival openings, and other projects, making awards ceremony's for the Riga International Film Festival and opening perfomance for the contemporary art festival Survival Kit. I also work on independent projects, such as the show "Goodbye, February!" and others.
At the moment, I’m actively focused on my work at the New Riga Theatre — both as an actor and as a director.
