Luulepäevad | Theatrefestival in Jõgeva

Tere!
Today I came back from a theatre festival, which lasted for two days. The theatre group of my class did attend it and and I was invited to it too. Unfortunately I am not in the theatre group yet, but I really want to join in the next play. I hope I can! I miss playing theatre :D
Schools from all over Estonia were participating in the festival, our school had even two theatre groups inclusive me as lucky charm/decoration. My charm seemed to work, because the theatre groups of my school did really well. The 11th graders won the prize for the best duo and one boy of my class was elected the best male actor. We were also one of two groups which were nominated for the best play. I am so glad for them, they really deserve it.
I am also way more conscious of the strong theatre culture here. It's such a huge difference in comparsion to Germany, I don't really know how to describe the differences exactly, but it seems that the groups are in general more professional.

The whole festival is dedicated to the famous Estonian poet Betti Alveri. On Friday evening there was a ceremony in remembrance of her. It took place in a small parque, candles lighted everywhere on the ground. After a few of her poems were read, I suddenly found myself in a circle with all the other people, holding hands, dancing in a circle, to soft music played in the background.

One day later it snowed for the first time. I am so excited! Everything is way more prettier now, although it's cold. And I lost my gloves. Yey. But I am going to buy new ones on Friday, because I am going to Tallinn . This weekend is already the YFU-Helsinkitrip, on Saturday the ferry is taking us to Finland!
