Director: Juhan Ulfsak (guest) Dramaturg: Eero Epner (guest)  Set designer: Kairi Mändla (guest) Costume designer: Kärt Hammer (guest) Composer and musical designer: Astra Irene Susi Lighting designer: Margus Vaigur   On stage: Kadri Rämmeld, Jaan Rekkor, Nils Mattias Steinberg, Priit Loog, Astra Irene Susi, Ülve Rabbi, Tarmo Jürgens   The production is inspired by Quentin Dupieux’s film Yannick (2023)   We arrive at the theatre and expect to be refreshed by the evening’s production. The actors do their best. They try to touch our heartstrings with their performance and answer important questions. But we feel that this production still does not speak well enough about what matters enough. We decide to intervene in the course of events. Incidents unfold, with consequences for everyone: serious threats and friendly conversations, critical nuance and funny episodes, personal confessions and public speeches.   Juhan Ulfsak’s directorial debut at Endla Theatre combines comedy with drama. In his productions to date, Ulfsak has created stage atmospheres where the grotesque and existentialism intertwine, along with simple jokes and slowly moving horses. For his productions in recent years, Ulfsak has received the directing award several times.
