Café Théâtral
Estonian Drama Theatre
Right now is the best of times, right now is the worst of times, it’s the time of wisdom, it’s the time of stupidity, the time of Light, the time of Darkness, the winter of discontent and the spring of hope. We have everything in front of us, nothing is waiting for us, we all go to heaven, we go straight to hell. There’s too much of everything, there’s too little of everything! And all of it takes us to Café Théâtral.
People summon every evening in a city centre cellar to open up through song and music. The cabaret stage is taken by the most sensitive, most charming and the craziest of people. And now Café Théâtral is opening its doors to everyone.
The premiere was held on December 2, 2022 in the Grand hall.
