Estonian contemporary performing arts showcase 2023
The next Estonian contemporary performing arts showcase takes place September 4–7th, 2023 in Tartu & Tallinn in collaboration with the Estonian biggest annual theatre festival DRAAMA. The festival is organized by the Estonian Theatre Agency.
In 2023, our guests have an opportunity to discover the most exciting new productions that premiered during the season 2022/23. Estonian Theatre Agency is glad to present Juhan Ulfsak’s “Theorem“ based on Pier Paolo Pasolini’s poetic story about radical changes in people and society; SNDO’s alumni Netti Nüganen’’s “The Myth: last day“ that won the price for the best Estonian performing arts production in 2022, Liisa Saaremäel’s concert-performance “SCREAM BOX“ that focuses on tiny vocal cords and big screams; Jarmo Reha’s salon evening, lecture, installation art & ritual called “Divide et Impera“; Lauri Lagle’s uninterrupted musical journey “Only Rivers Flow Freely”, Sveta Grigorjeva’s soft response to the aggressive world “Dances to Dream, Res(is)t and Sleep to”, and Sigrid Savi’s & Hanna Tangsoo’s hotpot of dance, sculpture, music and fitness trampolines called “COWBODY / Oh wow, it’s you!”.
The full program will be available from July 1st.
Estonian Theatre Agency’s showcase is essentially a festival of contemporary performing arts. The festival program does not represent the mainstream of our theatrical art, and more classical examples of our word-based theater are generally excluded from the showcase format. The festival is mainly aimed at a few dozen invited guests, whose expectations and hopes for the festival are to find new contacts, partners, artists, and productions to invite to their festivals or theater houses.
The Estonian Theater Agency offers theatre tickets and finances the accommodation of all the guests, as well as covers the international transport costs of some foreign guests. If you are interested in taking part in our festival, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are always glad to meet old friends and get to know new ones!
