Tartu Student Theatre brings a fairy tale theatre to the campfires, where the audience is taken to the world of material stories of the home and forest of the Baltic Finno-Ugric peoples. Storytelling is combined with masked roles, songs and lively music. Combining the powerful life-giving, dangerous and primordial symbols of two traditional cultures - living fire and forest - with the tradition of fairy tale telling brings to the audience an echo of the animistic worldview that was characteristic of the generations whose descendants we are in fact.

Thinking about the night forest can make a person feel the chills of fear, but the forest of one's home can also be a safe point of reference where one can gather strength and take time off. By bringing the flame of a campfire lit in the darkness of the forest to the center of the production, we transport the viewer, under the spell of fairy tales, to a time lost in oblivion, where the forest and the fire were not only a necessary resource for survival, but also the birthplace of tradition and the beginning, center and end of the life cycle. By singing a common song on the edge of the forest, through the close experience of fairy tales brought to life by the campfire, you can find answers to eternal questions that already troubled our ancestors. You can find answers within yourself. But you can also laugh. After the performance, a free-form discussion will continue, where all participants have the opportunity to express their opinions and tell their own stories.
