“sõp rus est” (about friendship, rus – russian/est – estonian)

Solo performance focuses on author’s Svetlana Grigorjeva’s personal experience in Estonian-Russian relations –

outcome of her mixed Estonian-Russian origins. The main problem: what kind of life can a “national hermaphrodite”

lead? Neither this nor that, or the other way around – both this and that. How to classify herself living in a space

governed by not the most amicable parties? In a space where the tradition of binary oppositions hasn’t disappeared

even after having read Foucault?
