“Co-natural” by Alexandra Pirici (Kunstenfestivaldesarts)
A hologram of a man in a pyramid made of black net. A man in flesh (39 yrs, 1,7 m, 72 kg, as he tells us) sitting on a lighted podium. They have an almost duet – the hologram repeating the same...

“Five Days in March – Re-creation” by Toshiki Okada / chelfitsch...
There are certain events that have changed the world as we've known it so much that even years later we remember where we were when it happened. “Five Days in March – Re-creation” follows youngsters in...

„Boundary Games“ by Léa Drouet (Kunstenfestivaldesarts)
Just when I thought that conceptualism in dance has vanished from the festivals, there's „Boundary Games“. There's a playground marked with squares, there's flickering fluorescence light and...

“Stadium” by Mohamed El Khatib (Wiener Festwochen)
Imagine a city with 30 000 inhabitants or so, where everyone seems to be a fan of their local football club. Now imagine almost fifty of them on stage that they share with ten or so fans of the...

“The Walking Forest” by Christiane Jatahy (Wiener Festwochen)
Yes, please! Give me more performances where the audience is fooled into believing that they are in charge of the situation. At first, “The Walking Forest” is set up as an art installation. There're...

“Poor People´s TV Room SOLO” by Okwui Okpokwasili (Wiener Festwochen)
It is visually and auditively enchanting – a woman with an orange dress in a semi-transparent box singing a protest or a lament song to the (white, colonist) man, thus re-creating a tradition from the...

“Crowd” by Gisèle Vienne (Wiener Festwochen)
Everyone's here, walking in in slow-motion. The ultimate party girl, the colour of her hoody matching the one of the drink-can she's holding. The I don't care how I look (Can't you see? Why can't you...

“Die Selbstmord-Schwestern” / “The Virgin Suicides” by Susanne Kennedy...
What a pretentious …! Visually effective enough (the stage is a colourful altar with multiple screens, the actors' faces are covered with a mask and there's also an avatar-guru making an appearance)...

„Hamlet“ (Johan Simons, Schauspielhaus Bochum, Theatertreffen)
No kui ma pean (olgu, ise ütlen, et pean). Theatertreffenile pääsevad tavaliselt lavastused, mis:võtavad alusmaterjaliks midagi dramaturgiaklassikast, aga toimetavad selle kärpimise ja muude tekstide...

Foto: Stephen CummiskeyKatie Mitchell on briti teatri superstaar ja "paha tüdruk", kelle lavastusi ma polegi varem näinud. Lihtsalt pole peale sattunud ja ka ise erilisi samme ette võtnud, sest see,...

Foto: Gabriela NeebOn päris keeruline võtta tõsiselt lavastust hoopidest (solvangutest) inimkonnale, mis algab ahvikarja etendamisega. Alguses olime ikka kõik neljakäpukil ja hõikasime hihuu ja hohoo!...

elektron.live on kõigi eelduste kohaselt parim asi, mis isloatsiooniajast Eesti teatriväljal sündinud. Nagu ikka, pole tehnika siiani hakkama saanud, aga selle lavastusega see lõpuks juhtus (ehk ka...

"End Meeting For All" (Forced Entertainment, HAU Hebbel am Ufer /...
Sellest kolmevaatuselisest Zoomidraamast saab ilmselt koroonakriisiaegse teatri esinäide. See pole täiesti põhjendamatu, kuigi loodan veel tänagi, mõni päev enne eriolukorra lõppu, et ajastukohaseid...
