Peaasi.ee and Kinoteater: stand-up show "We Don't Talk About Mental Health"

Twelve completely ordinary Estonian men take the stage, none of whom is personally touched by mental health issues. But they all know someone who knows someone who knows…

In autumn 2025 Peaasi.ee and Kinoteater invited men to apply for a comedy-writing course. By the end of the year twenty chosen men had completed it, and twelve of them now face an audience for the first time to share stories, experiences and incidents from their lives.

Peaasi.ee and Kinoteater care about people's wellbeing. This is their second project built on stories: during Tartu 2024 the voices came from people in South Estonia, mostly women, and now the focus is a standing crisis group, men.
