Renate Keerd's 5th production in Tartu New Theatre is  ready for the stage – LÄVI. It is characteristic of Renate to keep the audience in the dark about what she has in store for them. The only clue is the title, which in this case can mean either 'threshold' or 'to communicate'. And so it seems there’s nothing more to add. However, one thing you can count on, is that you can expect something special.

Renate Keerd’s productions have been described as positive, playful and metaphysical, offering a sensitive and witty take on social phenomenon and processes in a unique artistic style. Her productions have been performed at numerous theatre and contemporary dance festivals in Europe, Scandinavia and Asia. In 2012 she founded her own company of physical theatre called Kompanii Nii. Keerd’s production PURE MIND in Tartu New Theatre won the Grand Prix at the international theatre festival in Minsk and in 2017 it participated in the prestigious Chekhov Theatre Festival in Moscow. In 2018 Renate won the Grand Prize of the Estonian Cultural Endowment in the field of Dramatic Arts. She was also awarded the Performing Arts prize at the annual Estonian Theatre Awards for the productions of TAHE (WILL) (Tartu New Theatre) and VAIMUKUSKUSS (Von Krahl Theatre) at the same year.

LÄVI (meaning both 'threshold' and 'to communicate').
