The Estonian Language House of the Integration Foundation, in collaboration with Theatre Epiloog, has created a community theatre production “As the Language, so the mind”, which takes audiences to Ida-Virumaa and offers an opportunity to engage with the local community.
The production takes us to Ida-Virumaa and introduces people with diverse backgrounds and native languages, who share their personal experiences, feelings, and stories of living in Estonia and learning Estonian.
It offers an insight into the inner world of the Ida-Viru community, where important societal questions emerge and perhaps even answers to why certain things are the way they are.
The production has been created in collaboration between the Estonian Language House of the Integration Foundation and Theatre Epiloog. It is part of non-formal language learning, where Estonian is acquired and practiced through real communication and a shared creative process.
The creative team of the production includes director and dramaturge Elar Vahter, movement director Avery Gerhardt, composer Madis Kreevan, lighting designer Rommi Ruttas, and producer Gerli Kokk.
On stage: Aleksandra Štaškova, Andrei Škaleta, Anna Dunaeva, Anna Rehema, Elena Aminchikova, Evgenia Dvornik, Nataliia Pokoloda, Svetlana Sandakova, Tatjana Amerhanova, Irina Gristinenko, Galina Ivanova, Alice Saramago Rosário, Tatjana Grüning, Anželika Germ
