Tartu Student Theatre
TÜT
With breaks, there has been a drama club or studio at the University of Tartu for a long time. At one time, the university's drama club also included Mati Unt, Paul-Eerik Rummo, etc.
The current Tartu Student Theatre has grown out of the Tartu University Drama Studio, which was founded by Timo Kikas in 1993. In the early years of the studio, Aare Laak acted as the instructor, later Kikas himself, and in the last year Auli Auväärt.
Although the drama studio placed the main emphasis on closed studio work, a few productions were also produced, and one-off performances were performed at student days and events.
More than 30 years of history!
Tartu Student Theatre (TÜT) is a small theatre established on 1 October 1999 on the initiative of Kalev Kudu based on the student drama studio of the University of Tartu. It is characterised by its alternative nature and lack of its own space, and was born to find new and alternative venues.
The theatre consists mainly of students who join the troupe every year during the admission tests, and of older members and alumni who perform on stage with young actors and also organise studio work.
Birth and existence
Our mission
Our mission is to bring new or undiscovered authors to the audience, using a unique theatrical language and novel settings.
In addition, we want to offer students the opportunity to engage in high-level theatrical art.
As a student theater, we are an integrator of society, a shaper of thinking and worldviews.
