"scenes and sceneries"

There are walls, a ceiling, and a floor. It's windy. There are straight lines and between them, calculated angles. From these, corridors, stairs and halls are shaped. There is an endless field no one wants to go to. There are thoughts that are being thought and feelings that are waiting to be felt. There are forms that do not change and situations that have been seen before. There is an established logic, being carefully followed. There is a surface to step on and a place to long for. There are directions to turn the gaze. There is a rise to rest a hand on and a horizon to observe. It is, unfortunately, insignificant and strangely correct.

Kärt Kokkota (b. 2002) will graduate in 2025 from the TU Viljandi Culture Academy with a degree in choreography. She has created stage productions, performances, and a short film, also participated as an actress and dancer in theatrical productions and feature films.
She is interested in rooms and other structures that surround the (human) body, as well as the interplay between fiction and reality in both theatrical and everyday contexts.

“TSANGAAN.”

The Tsangaan people have lived in no-man's-land since ancient times. Now, only one person represents the entire nation. Rumors of the last Tsangaan reach a naive young man, an anthropology student, who decides to venture into the unknown wilderness to find the Tsangaan.

Although the young man initially feels like a stranger in the Tsangaan's mystical world, he gradually discovers many layers within himself that connect him to the new environment. He finds that he becomes closer to the last Tsangaan with each passing day, leaving more and more of his past life and personality behind.

"TSANGAAN.", a short film by Isabel Laiapea (screenwriter-director), a directing student at TÜ Viljandi Culture Academy, explores the relationships between humans and nature, as well as themes of identity and self-discovery.
Laiapea has got inspiration for the film from Mati Unt's short story "The Philologist's Desperate Step" and Mehis Heinsaar's novel "The Lost Tribe."

The nature-themed film, shot at Karuskose farm and around it in Soomaa, was created in collaboration with students and alumni from TÜ Viljandi Culture Academy and BFM.
