CPPM’s LÄBU vol.2 ep.3 – Daniel Ortiz Amezquita
Ortiz Amezquita enters carrying small travel cases, and begins with a play of light, mirrors, reflection and projection. It is a fitting introduction to the piece, an intricate work of object storytelling, self-portraiture through shadow and sound, thinking back and calling back, falling in and out of history with his story.
Triinu Upkin – Ballet at the Bar
Despite the array of topics covered and formats used, Triinu’s performance is entirely cohesive and blends together flawlessly. Her ease and grace as a ballerina are mirrored in the way she conducts her show, and her control, both in her physical and spoken performance, is nothing short of impressive.

Cellar Sessions @ Heldeke!
On the fly and off the cuff, Raptorjesus42’s genre switches challenged and responded to challenge from Lebo Sibul’s growling, ringing guitar. Over the course of the Fringe their stage style has evolved as much as their sound, fashion and technique gelling and morphing over time from pop to techno, upbeat then uptempo.

CPPM’s LÄBU vol. 2 ep. 1 – Zhenyan Ding | Elar Vahter | Leah Gayer
Course leader Jüri Nael introduces the performances by explaining to the non-native speakers that läbu suggests, in Estonian, a post-party mess; these are more works in progress, but representative of where the student-artists are in the middle of that mess-making.
Rising Violins at VAT Teater
Director Tanel Saar and choreographer Hanna Maria Saar have delivered a compelling performance – a nuanced narrative which holds the audience captive through rushes of anime-style fight scenes which bend time and somehow cinematically pan or zoom in on a humorously pained expression, to intimate scenes reminiscent of Frantic Assembly’s weaving contact movement style…
Secret Time Travel Meeting at Improteater IMPEERIUM
