Beastesses

A passion with two women and a five-piece band.

“Beastesses” is one Woman’s CV, Curriculum Vitae – the running track of life which stars with her birth and ends with her death, although it could also go the opposite way.

This woman’s running track is a copse-laden path in the forest, a kitchen filled with broken glass, a bedroom overflowing with tenderness, a road to hell paved with good intentions, a never-ending handicraft lesson, a funeral procession, but why not also a four-track stadium where she races against herself.

Mirtel Pohla and Eva Koldits interweave several potential life stories of a woman into their performances. Because where there’s a story, there’s life.

Similarly to Greek tragedies where a choir accompanies the story, the Woman is accompanied on her journey through heaven and hell on earth by a low-sounding band consisting of the top musicians in Estonia.
