“Behind the Dam” – Tammsaare Theatre
Tammsaare Theatre presents a moving and thoughtful performance “Behind the Dam” – a story about people whose souls have accumulated feelings they can no longer contain. A story that speaks of a quiet Irish village where life flows its own way... until water starts to flow from behind the dam – both literally and symbolically.
The performance brings to the stage human stories, memories and secrets that await liberation. It is a poetic and profound journey along the paths of silence, friendship, loss and redemption – a reflection of how each of us builds our own dam within ourselves.
