CHOREOGRAPHY+ is a space and time where choreography breathes wider than dance. It is a place where movement meets language, sound touches the body, light draws the rhythm and a thought dances into the unknown. This space asks in a whisper, can choreography be independent and exist in its own gravity? Or does it still need other worlds around it to grow, expand and create new horizons? CHOREOGRAPHY+ is a promise to discover new fields of tension: between movement and stillness, structure and freedom. It is an invitation for the audience to witness the possibilities of choreography. Chaos, rhythm and form will lead the way. CHOREOGRAPHY+ is an evening of performances, where choreographers who have chosen an artist from another field to accompany them take to the stage. Together they have created a short performance to sense the possibilities of choreography. Juulius Vaiksoo + Hirvo Surva “Song and Dance Celebration”

On Friday, 19 September at 5:00 p.m., the group exhibition Connecting Link dedicated to the memory of Reet Varblane (1952–2023) will open at the Vabaduse Gallery. The exhibition is a tribute to Reet’s life and work, showcasing also the documentation of the final act of her last major curatorial project Baton from Kütiorg to Kadriorg. Force. Spirit. Power, in which Reet could no longer take part in. More broadly, the exhibition is a contemplation on the mystery of the humankind's inner world and death as a vital force.

Join us for the artist talk and opening of “Weather As a Conversation Topic” by Liisa Kruusmägi and Lukas Weidinger on Thursday, September 11 at 6pm at the EKA Billboard Gallery! The event will be held in English and will be moderated by David Schilter. In case of bad weather, the conversation will take place indoors. The artwork is visible round the clock until October 26. Invisible, all-encompassing phenomena such as heat, cold, wind, (un)happiness, desire, love, poverty, wealth play the leading roles in a fragmented narrative about the weather and its irritating omnipresence in the everyday life of the society that lives in it. The work contains many personal reflections and references to people and situations. Lukas Weidinger and Liisa Kruusmägi have created a joint work where one story is told within another. Some look at the outside – the weather in the cityscape, others colorfully depict life indoors.
