The troupe behind “Elajannad” is turning its attention to intimate-partner violence in a new stage production. The work examines the issue through artistic means, combining music and spoken word.
The creators frame the subject as a social problem rather than a private matter. Their aim is to help victims shed misplaced shame and feel that they are not alone.
The new production follows the troupe’s earlier work, which portrayed the life journey of one woman. Postimees visited a rehearsal and spoke with the troupe about the project.
