From July 1–5, the Baltoscandal festival in Rakvere will present 16 performances, installations, and films. One of the oldest and most significant performing arts festivals in the Baltic and Nordic regions, Baltoscandal brings together internationally acclaimed creators as well as a bright new generation of artists.
Over the course of five days, the festival atmosphere will spread throughout the entire city of Rakvere. In addition to familiar theatre venues, the festival will take visitors on a journey across the city: to the Hõõg party hangar on the outskirts of Rakvere, the Rahu Hall sports venue, a private house on Pikk Street, the State Gymnasium, and the newly opened Ukuaru Music House.
Once again, the fourth wall between audience and artist will be broken. Visitors are invited to gather at the bar, follow instructions hidden in boxes, explore new worlds through virtual reality headsets, and entrust their problems to artists to solve. It’s worth slipping a one-euro coin into your pocket—you never know when it might be needed to activate a performance.
