"Servant" is a story of three Estonian men. Servant, Prince and Sass. They are played by three Estonian men who are very closely, almost inseparably connected with each other. There is a touch of existentialism, the pains and joys of being a human in their life.
The play is not about money, career or actual issues of the day. All we know about these men is that they consider being a right Human to be most important. How could you exist so that you wouldn't cheat yourself or the others, and that all three together would be happy and satisfied? The task is more complicated than it seems. Actually, it seems to be impossible. Is human co-existence suitable for humans at all?
This story comprises allegories and parallels to joining Europe, public status in Estonia, problems of old people in civilized world etc, but it all is formal if there is no real life on the stage creating meanings by itself. And this artificial organism is animated by real engineers of human souls, acknowledged specialists in the field of animation and impersonation.
Premiere: May 2, 2003 Theatre Hall of the National Library
