Tuvi toas or Pigeon in the Room by Anna Jaanisoo

This is a play about potato salad and alienation.
A play about how Finnish people see Estonians.
This is a play about the Baltic Sea, a car ferry and a studio flat.

A play about how Estonians see Finnish people.
This is a play about a pigeon thrashing around in a closed space.
