How has the full-scale invasion changed the cultural landscape of the Baltic states? Using theatre as a lens and Estonia as a case, this lecture explores ambivalence, memory and new artistic responses to war. It argues that theatre in the Baltic states does not merely respond to political events. It also functions as an early sensor of historical rupture, making visible the unresolved and often contradictory transformations of the present.
Prof. Dr. Natalia Skorokhod is a theatre scholar, professor and curator of theatre projects, with a particular involvement in Estonia. She is a senior fellow at the Alfred Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg Greifswald and a lecturer with the Free University in Exile.
