Kriminull is a murder mystery, and the audience chooses the victim, the murderer, and the actors that portray them, as well as the location and cause of death. But knowing the end never spoiled a good story, and Kriminull follows the unfolding investigation into the murder through the eyes of the chief detective – whose actor is also chosen by the audience.
Combined with an international audience, this creates a truly multicultural and dynamic performance, with active participation not only from individuals but also from groups such as students or specific nationalities.
Each poet brought their own spin to the mic, vigorous, theatrical, angry and profound, representing lives and experiences that transcend borders and languages.
‘Must ja Valge Koer’ is a cheerful, enlivening and heartwarming piece of children’s theatre. Notably, this work diverges from the new norm of fast paced videos and cartoons – this show is engaging without being overstimulating. It’s comfortingly formulaic yet full of surprises.
Throughout the show, we observe the seven dancers on a radical journey of courtship, ritual, sex, celebration, birth, isolation, abandonment, combat and an inevitable demise.
This was no ordinary recital. Candlelight, carefully chosen costumes, and the spoken word of Dante’s immortal poetry turned the performance into a ritual of music, literature, and theater.

This show runs like a collection of vignettes, almost, circling themes of desire, family, identity and suffering; a woman both going through the motions and drowning under the weight of her unspoken screams.
Köster and team have pulled together an incredible staging for the series of scenarios, an imaginative, twisted take on parental abandonment and filial devotion.
The piece begins, rewinds, restarts, stops, and progresses, degrading in the way that a VHS tape would after too many viewings.
