There will be also something very special in this concert. We are honored to collaborate with well known Estonian visual artist Taavet Jansen. He is known for his light- and video performances and some of you may remember his work from Von Krahl Theatre "The End" play. www.taavetjansen.eu

A little invitation in Estonian :)

Dear friends!

19 March is the day when Von Krahl theatre's new play "The End" will be premiered. And I am very proud that I was asked to write music for the play! Von Krahl theatre is one of the biggest Estonian theatres and their drama troupe consists of Estonian most spectacular film and theatre actors.
It has been a real pleasure to work together with my favorite Estonian actors and I must say I am already a fan of the play before the premiere!

Introduction:
// I exist, because I remember. There are two of us here, me and my memory, alone in the middle of this dark town. My memory must fit onto the 8 gigabytes the state has allocated to me. Bodies have been declared utilities – mine is currently peeing in the toilet. Every day I bring a bucket of water from the gas station. Something is going on there. People are standing still, hugging each other in silence. Some have no clothes on. A few more days and then it’s the end.
The End is a production authored by 6 people who have formed the Von Krahl Theatre drama troup for about ten years. The play talks about the end of one world. //

THE END
