“What Is Written in My Flesh” – theatre and room installation, Krulli House

On stage there is a human being, but they are not the main character. They are in the Room: an ordinary flat in a block. The person is at the mercy of the Room, which has its own will and the power to direct events.

The Room demands servitude from its inhabitants, giving home warmth, a sense of safety, a dry place and a roof over one's head when bad weather drives us in. In return we fix the roof, scrub the floors, change the wallpaper, mend the wobbly table leg, wash the laundry, beat the rugs, bleed the radiators and sweep the stairwell. The drain is blocked again, the hob is filthy, there's no milk for coffee – and who keeps honking under the window?

The production by Marika Vaarik, Lauri Lest and Urmas Lüüs looks at the space between worlds: part theatre, part room installation, part collage of soundscapes and anthropological observation. Everyday moments and existential bursts unfold, focusing on reality, perhaps hyperreality – everything that happens in every Room and goes unnoticed.

Authors and performers: Marika Vaarik, Lauri Lest, Urmas Lüüs. Premiered on 5 September 2026 at Ekspeditsiooni stuudio, Krulli House.

Time and place: 20 November, 19:00, Ekspeditsiooni stuudio, Krulli maja, Tallinn.
