A-festival is an international festival of independent theatres and student theatres that started in 2012.

The purpose of A-festival is to convene foreign collectives from the edges of the theatrical world, professional and recreational, state-budget and project-based, text- and movement-based, narrative and compositional, psychological and formalist, and bring them together with the local theatre audience. Being part of the network of student theatres, our goal is also to popularise the activity of student theatres in Estonia and to introduce this culture more closely.

programme

Teatro Travieso
"Caged"

CAGED is about a broken immigration system that treats migrants as criminals, rather than as human beings. The play focuses on the effects of the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy that separated migrant families at the US-Mexico border and left thousands of Latin American immigrant children incarcerated in detention centers. In the play, three young girls struggle with what it means to make the journey to the United States and to be separated from their loved ones.

Duration: 1 hour

Jordi L. Vidali kompanii "Alamor"

"Alamor" an original, touching and lively performance with dance and puppet, that tells about an extraordinary encounter.

With the two protagonists and the puppet, we travel with tenderness in a dreamlike world, with joy and conflict, with dreams and humour.

The music resonates with the visual approach of the show in an intimate dance of emotions

A theatrical sketch without an end

The work was born in a difficult period for the whole world – in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is the experience of two people who survived the quarantine period, in which prohibitions and their disregard, fear and faith, grievances and the need for creativity intertwine.
