“The Scarlet Umbrella” sets on a theatre stage the childhood games of two sisters, the mirth, fun and moods – and the rain that speaks in Latin. A well-known poem by Estonian poetess Betti Alver has inspired a show without words that is easy to understand for everyone from the age of three. 

Estonian Theatre for Young Audiences

Estonian Theatre for Young Audiences (formerly known as Estonian State Puppet Theatre, Estonian Puppet and Youth Theatre and NUKU Theatre) was founded in 1952 and is to date the only professional puppet and visual theatre in Estonia. It was founded on the initiative of puppeteer and director Ferdinand Veike, who steered its artistic course for nearly three decades.

Situated in the historical Old Town of Tallinn, Estonian Theatre for Young Audiences is a theatre for the young viewer that shapes young people’s cultural space, broadens their senses, reflects their perception of the world, and helps them to get to know themselves and the world.

Estonian Theatre for Young Audiences is the only theatre in Estonia that consistently includes puppet and visual theatre productions in its repertory. When creating productions, we look for a dialogue of the goals of content and visual forms of expression.
