Valdis Vanags

Valdis was born in Valmiera – a place called “the pearl of Vidzeme” near Gauja, where he also graduated from secondary school. Valdis’ temper is the outcome of the genes of his father from Latgale and his mother from Vidzeme and he has an enduring love for the native trails of Valmiera, as well as for the sincerity and openness of Latgale. Under the leadership of Pēteris Krilovs and Anna Eižvertiņa, Valdis graduated the Latvian Academy of Culture, Drama Theater course. In 2007 he came the Latvia Puppet Theater, where the most important roles so far have been performed. Valdis reveals that he really started to like puppetry when playing his “role of life” - Ābrams from staging “Skroderdienas Silmačos”. His life is unthinkable without music, where rock'n'roll has clearly taken the lead. He has been playing in the self-created band "7 Sons" for more than 10 years already.
Actor of the Latvia Puppet Theater since 2007.
