Triple Bill Of Improv featuring 3 acts
Improteater IMPEERIUM (est)
Presents Improv in GIBBERISH
We start this improv show by asking the audience for suggestions, and the actors use these to improvise fun scenes. As an extra twist, the actors aren’t allowed to use a word of any existing language! - a mix of Charlie Chaplin and Mr. Bean.
About Us
We have done improv since 2009. Improtheater IMPEERIUM grew out of the first Estonian professional improv group in 2013. We have given performances and workshops in all over Estonia. Also in Copenhagen, Luxembourg, Haag, Amsterdam, London, St Petersburg, New York, Miami, Chicago, Toronto, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Sofia, Jerevan, Uppsala, Oslo, Nottingham, London, Lyon etc.
We also take part in various theater projects outside of our Improtheater IMPEERIUM. So we are not only improv actors and/or directors we do also traditional, puppet, (full)mask, shadow etc theater. Play in tv-series and movies.
In septembre 2023 we built and opened our own theatre Black Bocks. It is the first theatre hall for improvisation tehatre in Estonia
HUstings (ire)
These politicians want your vote and they're willing to say anything to secure it. Improvised speeches with flung together policies lead to poorly planned out consequences and unpredictable knock on effects.
The cast is: Mark Cantan, Sean Flaherty, Niamh O'Keefe, Pearl O'Rourke, Hannah Lemass and Mike Kunze.
About Us
Hustings are an ensemble of established Irish improvisers who devise and create numerous shows. Many of cast members can be normally seen perform with popular Dublin group Auto-Correbt.
