Ene-Liis Semper’s New Production – 8 November

Ene-Liis Semper’s new production raises the question of what folklore means to people today. The creators juxtapose and contrast creation myths with the realities of everyday life. On stage is a group of characters of different ages, all seeking inner balance despite stress and complicated relationships. The source material includes the work of Hasso Krull, myths from various peoples, Byung-Chul Han’s books “The Burnout Society” and “The Transparency Society,” Estonian incantations and curses, and more. Live music played on archaic instruments has an important role in the production.
