Ian Deadly (GBR)
Circus / Theatre / Comedy
This multi award winning show (The People vs. Ian Deadly) returns to the streets in a fizzling new format. The idea is simple, Ian Deadly meets the public and the results become the show. The show is built together scene by scene together with the audience using music, comedy, beautiful juggling and spontaneity. We start alone and end together as a many limbed comic circus octopus! Wild comedy improvisation, hula hoop and a dangerous sense of the ridiculous combine for a new explosive finale, specially developed for 2018.

Society Doctors (EST)
Music
We are looking ways to bring the street art out of the theatre and like-wise, bring theatre out the street art; combining theatre’s thirst for soul and spirit with street art’s expressiveness, active openness and connecting with the audience. Shaping our work with the divine spontanity, momentum of risk and intellectual analysis; intertwining imagination with knowledge, tracking darker borders of language and heading toward communicative clarity. Naturally we intend to inspire and captivate but also provoke and enlighten, or even relieve.
Only Tallinn!
