The foundation Vaba Lava (“free stage”) was established in May 2010 by nine independent theatre and dance companies with two aims: to support independent groups in Estonia and to promote international cooperation through joint projects, co-productions, workshops and seminars. Vaba Lava is the first theatre centre in Estonia without a resident company. Every two years, a new curatorial team—an international curator and an Estonian assistant—selects productions for the programme. The logo, depicting broken chains in Mayakovskyan red, together with poster-like graphics, conveys the building’s revolutionary creative spirit.
