The series will be kicked off with a dance performance The Little Prince, where the world which is balancing between reality and fantasy (characteristic of Antoine de Saint-Exupery) is watched through the prism of Little-Prince-like purity. The performance will be produced in cooperation with the team of the dance performance Hamlet that premiered at the Estonian National Opera in 2007 (the team was given the Annual Estonian Theatre Award 2008).
Oksana Tralla (Titova) is the dancer of the Estonian National Ballet troupe. She is also a director and choreographer of contemporary dance who is known for her originality. She will bring to the audience the performance series of contemporary dance, the roots of which are in a ballet theatre. It is a form of dance theatre that puts the physical abilities of the ballet dancer in service of contemporary art and aesthetics. According to Tralla, an attic relates to something mysterious, intimate and unpredictable. “Different rules apply in the attic of the Estonian National Opera, you might find something unexpected there.”
Oksana Tralla (Titova) has staged at the Estonian National Opera, Vanemuine Theatre and Kanuti Guild Hall. She has won the annual Estonian Theatre Award in the category of „Best dance production“ for The Last Hairy (with Taavet Jansen, Kanuti Guild Hall, 2005) and Hamlet (Estonian National Opera, 2007). Both works have participated in the international festivals in Estonia, Latvia, Russia and England.
