Here are this week’s recommendation, we hope they offer you amusement, but also themes to think about. Have a wonderful week!
New circus performance „One more gift“
17, 18 , 19 and 21 Dec
OMAsaal
Christmas is a special situation for a collective seething. Any circus act on stage is centered around a gift, but not on behalf of it. The human itself is on a pedestal, not restricted by hierarchy or barriers between people. Different generations will meet on stage to act together on the thin border of reality and tricks. Monocycles are included in the game, to act as a nostalgic dodge to a classical circus tradition.
International Glass Art Biennial 2D
09 Dec – 23 Dec
Rapla County Contemporary Art Centre
This year, there are 29 participants from around the Baltic Sea – Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, and Sweden, and the exhibition travels again between Vilnius, Jurbarkas, Pärnu, and Riga. Artworks in a variety of hot and cold glassworking techniques explore the possibilities of two-dimensional glass in three-dimensional space. The so-called Vilnius School – historically a centre of 2D glass art – meets and exchanges ideas with its Baltic neighbours.

 Guided Tour around the Estonian National Opera

There is a possibility to walk out onto the Main Stage, or visit the costume workshop or scenery painting room, and possibly even meet a singer or a dancer as the tour goes around, but also learn about the architecture, stagecraft, opera and ballet from the knowledgeable tour guides.  The tour tends to have a little different face every time.
