The Swan Lake is perhaps the world’s best known ballet. In the Soviet Union this Tchaikovsky classic was harnessed for the Soviet propaganda machinery’s use. The Von Krahl performance plays with Swan Lake’s loaded history and traditions and builds a collage of its very own making from these themes. Oil barrels function as the corps de ballet on stage, the silly princess doesn’t get her prince at the end and Tchaikovsky’s beautiful music gets to play in whole new dimensions. This Swan Lake is funny, ironic and clever dance theatre. The Von Krahl Theatre was founded in Tallinn in 1992 and was the first private theatre company in Estonia. It has had a regular staff of actors since 1998 and it functions on two different levels, both as a theatre company and as an administrative body for independent groups and guest performances. Also attached to it there is a centre for modern dance, 2. Tants. The theatre produces contemporary and innovative art in all of modern theatre’s forms. In Finland Von Krahl has gained reputation by giving the first performance of Jouko Turkka’s play Connecting People (Osta pientä ihmistä) in 2001. In the previous Baltic Circle Festival the company presented a play, Trankvillisaator. The Von Krahl Theatre also brings another performance, the Taxi Drivers, to the Baltic Circle festival.
