Touring Theater Vaba Vanker "The Ancient Story of Estonians" / NAKS Festival

The heritage comedy from the touring theater Vaba Vanker: experiential stories of Estonians’s survivals

It is a play full of self-deprecating humor, warm jokes about Estonians peculiarities, history, and a tiny bit of friendly fun-making about Estonians neighbours.

The plays humor is familiar to all: intelligent, minimalist, modern and improvisational. Despite its humorous approach, the play is thought-provoking and has quite a lot to teach via historical facts.

First part of the comedy gives an oversight of Estonians history: from where have they came and how they survived. The second part tells a story of how to find, buy and kidnap a woman, in other words, how to lead a way to marriage.

The play is a result of teamwork.
