Baltoscandal
Baltoscandal is an international theatre festival, which takes place every two years in Estonia. The first two festivals took place in 1990 and 1992 in Pärnu. Since 1994, the festival has taken place in Rakvere[1] in June or July.
The festival was founded by Von Krahl Theatre and Rakvere Theatre. It is the biggest international theatre festival in Estonia [1] and the oldest in the three Baltic countries.[2]
The main purpose of Baltoscandal is to introduce different, unconventional, and innovative theatre to Estonian audiences. The festival showcases innovative and non-mainstream theatrical forms that also set trends for the performing arts more broadly.[3]
