Guest Performances of The Soldier by Mart Kivastik

03.04.2008

In the staging made by R.A.A.A.M an excellent duet of artists Ain Lutsepp from the Estonian Drama Theatre and Roman Baskin are performing.
The performance takes the spectator to the period of World War II, when the two powers - Russia and Germany are set against one another. General Laidoner appears on the stage in Lutsep's interpretation and Baskin is playing an unknown soldier in the service of the NKVD. A plebeian meets a patrician, ideals are confronted with baseness and a prisoner with a guard. Kivastik tries to find an answer to the question: who were those unknown soldiers, which swept over our territories in whirlwind.
This old thing again, you know - Russia and Germany, two stubborn powers, none of them would give in and fight it out. And you will be in their way. Again and again you will be in their way. Again you are in their way! There is nothing to do about it, but feel sorry. A small and tiny country! A tiny nation. Take a magnifying glass to see it. One million! And in such a wrong place.
