THROUGH THE CITY: Annelinn

Is it your 1st time coming to such a play?

The urban space project "Through the City" has now been running for over four years. Having previously explored stories from Tartu's other districts of Karlova, Supilinn and Ülejõe.

LÄBI LINNA: Annelinn – meaning "Through the City" – is a travelling theatrical performance. It takes place in the form of a journey. The audience is led by actors and performers, surrounded by the magical world created for this night only. The exact route and final destination remain a secret.

It's not just about getting from point A to point B. It is about re-living the stories of real people who have lived in Annelinn. Each spectator will see that behind every anonymous window in Annelinn is a real person with a rich soul. 

The collection of local oral traditions has always been an important part of making the LÄBI LINNA. That way the resulting work reflects the reality of people from the district's life stories.

"We deliberately left Annelinn as the final district to be staged. It is the largest district in Tartu and is cosy and spacious, narrow and layered all at once. Here, lots of different nationalities and cultures live side by side – and on top of each other. It needed the experience gained from the productions about the three previous districts," explained Jaanika Tammaru, director and conceptual director.

The next stop after Annelinn is an exploration of the border town straddling Estonia and Latvia, in "Through the City: Valga+Valka." After that, the project will focus on Darmstadt, Germany.

The project "Through the City: Annelinn," which is part of the Tartu 2024 European Capital of Culture program, can be seen on the streets of Tartu from June 1 to 15.
