A Unique and Unrepeatable “Moment”

Are you ready to experience five solos that are created anew each evening, uniquely before your eyes? “Moment” is an improvisational dance performance in which dancers from different backgrounds and with different styles create a unique and unpredictable performance together with musicians. Every performance is unique, as the dancers and musician respond to the situation in the moment and to one another, creating constantly changing patterns and emotions. The performance brings together contemporary dance, improvisation and live music created using guitar, synthesizer and drum machines. The dancers perform solo and group improvisations based on a pre-agreed structure and cues inspired by the work of various Estonian poets. “Moment” is an evening that values individuality, courage and being present in the moment. It is an invitation to discover the depths of human nature through dance and music, and to experience something completely new and special. Come and be part of an unrepeatable moment!
