Time explores the concept of our existence, through relationships to one another, to God and to our planet.

Silent Monologues

A one-act piece for three couples, Silent Monologues speaks of the inner loneliness, the ups and downs, the self-exploration, and the shared happiness and sadness of human relationships.

Echo

Choreographed by Eve Mutso

Echo explores how individuality This new work by Eve Mutso, former principal dancer with Scottish Ballet, has been specially commissioned by the Estonian National Ballet for its 100th anniversary season and will premiere in Tallinn on 8 Nov 2018.
