Baltic Circle Theatre Festival 2023

The International Theatre Festival Baltic Circle will take place in November for the 20th time.

This year's rich programme will feature 10 premieres, international guest performances, late-night lectures, workshops, performative concerts, and a public debate by the Sámi Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

The 2023 festival delves into subconscious themes related to transformation; topics such as awareness, horror, and renewal are strongly present in the programme. What kind of security shimmers in rituals that exist between reality and magic, where the lines between the sacred and delusion blur? The festival will feature witches and ancient magicians, crip body-minds, and a chorus lamenting collective grief. Beneath the surface, there is simmering anger at injustice.
