This event is in English
On Saturday October 5th 2024 at 5.45pm, Rataskaevu 6 Art gallery will showcase theatrical comedy poetry in English. The show is an ultra-theatrical approach to poetry, a cabaret-style humorous performance where characters from the poems come alive as three- dimensional personalities. They also try to kidnap the Poet and change the plot to their liking.
Aime the Theatrical Poet is the Protagonist, who is trying to keep the mischievous characters in check. But they storm past her, directly into the lime light. Aime’s co-stars involve: A Certain Herr Professor, No-Nonsense Girl Next Door, Actor George from Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, A Babe With Suspicious Intentions, A Well-Behaved Space Alien, many others.
On a more realistic note: this is a one-woman show where the performer plays many different characters. Little scenes appear one after another, the characters interact with the audience and one another. The parade of characters is blended together with interludes of physical theatre and music. The poet invites the audience to the playful landscapes of magical reality.
