"Siinpool sood" unites the brightest ideas from young drag performers into a theatre production for the first time in Estonia!
Through workshops, additional events, and co-creation, nine talented performers have put together acts that remain true to the essence and uniqueness of drag art. The "Siinpool sood" artists represent the community where drag was born. Understanding it deeply, they bring it to the stage in its most authentic form. They have joined forces with director Elina Masing to bring the production from the usual club environment to a theatre stage.
