Taksojuhid-Taksirengit-Taxi Drivers begins when a Finnish small-town taxi driver throws up in his Estonian counterpart’s car and is kidnapped by the Estonian. The following night puts these two men to the test in their attitudes towards each other and the nations they represent. This bilingual performance peaks bravely and bluntly behind the myths that these two sister (or shall we say "brother") nations harbour of each other. The banal everyday details turn at times into gentle comedy, at other times into sharp social satire. 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 Swan Lake, to the Baltic Circle festival.
