MARTIN SOOKAEL + JAANIKA JUHANSON +

RENATE VALME + ALEKSANDER EELMAA

"Sümfoonia kolmele dirigendile. Laval üks viiul."

Juhanson, Valme and Sookael will try what they can make of Aleksander Eelmaa. They will mutually direct each other. They try to do something rather uncommon in the Estonian theatre, something that in the English-speaking world would be called divising theatre. Something new for all the participants. Old school acting will meet contemporary zeitgeist. Contradictions are bound to arise.

Jaanika Juhanson is a stage director. She has worked with Teatrilabor, Von Krahl Theatre and Rakvere Theatre. Currently she is leading the Performing Arts department at the Tartu University Viljandi Culture Academy.

Renate Valme is a freelance choreographer working a lot to bring together dance and objects and metaphorical thinking.

Martin Sookael is a freelance photographer, video artist, designer and programmer. He has created video solutions for performances such as "Dr. Tõrva ja professor Sule süsteem", "Roots", "KrabattabarK", "Haned Võlgu", "Hädaorg", "Tervitustega minu heale sõbrale kontseptsioonile" and "Layout".

Aleksander Eelmaa is a renowned Estonian actor currently working at Tallinn City Theatre.
