“Behind the Dam” – Tammsaare Theatre
Tammsaare Theatre presents a touching and thoughtful production “Behind the Dam” – a story of people whose souls are filled with feelings that can no longer be kept inside. A story that speaks of a quiet Irish village where life goes on its course... until the water starts to flow from behind the dam – both in a direct and symbolic sense.
The performance brings to the stage human stories, memories, and secrets waiting to be released. It is a poetic and profound journey along the paths of silence, friendship, loss, and redemption – a reflection on how each of us builds our own dam within ourselves.
