March 21 is World Poetry Day, and Tallinn celebrated Saturday with a more than three-hour poetry walk through town featuring actors, writers and rising voices.<\/p>\n
Over three and a half hours, the walk took participants on a journey between the Estonian capital’s theaters, libraries and other cultural spots, with brief performances at each stop and more poems shared while walking.<\/p>\n
Among the participants were poets and Estonian Writers’ Union members Sveta Grigorjeva and Hasso Krull.<\/p>\n
Actors included Tallinn City Theater’s Maria Ehrenberg, Sandra Uusberg, Kristo Viiding and Kristjan \u00dcksk\u00fcla; Estonian Theatre for Young Audiences actors Hardi M\u00f6ller, Mark Erik Savi and Doris Tilk; the Estonian Drama Theater’s Kersti Kreismann, Britta Soll and Erling Eding; and Downtown Theater’s Aleksandr \u017dilenko, Alina Karmazina, Anastassia Tsubina, Anna Sergejeva, Ilja Bolotov and Tatjana Manevskaja.<\/p>\n
From the Estonian National Opera, ballet director Linnar Loorits, opera soloist Aule Urb and ballet dancer Triinu Upkin also took part.<\/p>\n
At Tallinn’s S\u00fcdalinna Library, they were joined by writer and dramaturg Andra Teede and Riina Joanna J\u00e4rve, Marie-Luisa Kurm and Mirtel Velstr\u00f6m, special award winners from the Tallinn preliminaries of Estonia’s Youth Poetry Slam.<\/p>\n
