THE LONG-AWAITED IDENTITY CABARET IS BACK!!!

For five nights only, 29 performing arts students from the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre  transform into identity draggers. A catwalk stretches like a thin tongue in the middle of the auditorium; music pours from the speakers, which pulls us along, the walls sparkle, the beams of light flicker, and one by one, those crazy people performing in front of us have the power to turn the whole universe into a meeting place of happy creatures!

Identity Cabaret is a collaborative project between the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, the Estonian Academy of Art and Grimmikool.
