THE BEAUTY OF THE GAME

In Estonian / English translation of the play available at the theatre

*

Why do we compete? What does it mean to win and lose, be acknowledged and ignored at the breakfast table, straight after your first kiss or on your very last birthday? Why do we want to be the best and are afraid of losses? Is there anything that can’t be perceived as a competition? For example, eating with a spoon or developing a runny nose?
Who would we be without any competition?
You said that the beauty of the game is of great value but would it retain its value if you were to constantly lose? Or win?
The performance is a duel where we determine the winner, the loser and everything in-between.

Hanna Marrandi/Postimees: „Mängu ilu“ is an entertaining performance in the best sense of the word. The audience is introduced with the quality of Tartu New Theatre through unfamiliar performers, at least to the large majority of the audience for now. The greatest value of this production is its universality. "Mängu ilu" is suitable for audience in all ages: it can be thoroughly analyzed and peeled off layer by layer, but it's enjoyable as well as a simply viewing experience.

Theatre blogger Danzumees:
Such awsome, hungry, new, young theatre makers simply give so much joy! This is without a doubt my favourite first work in a big theatre after graduation of the recent EAMT Theatre School graduates. Real pleasure for anyone, who works out or is or has been into sports.
