Viljandi students bring fresh creative work to Tallinn mini-festival

A four-day mini-festival called 'Fresh Stuff from Viljandi' runs in Tallinn from June 3–6, showcasing the latest work by students of the University of Tartu Viljandi Culture Academy. Audiences can expect performances, installations, and films reflecting the diverse directions of the performing arts curriculum.

Tallinn will host a compact showcase of student creativity this week, as the mini-festival 'Fresh Stuff from Viljandi' opens its doors from June 3 to 6. The event brings together the newest work produced by students of the University of Tartu Viljandi Culture Academy.

Over four days, audiences will have the chance to experience a varied programme including theatrical productions, installations, and short films. The works reflect the broad spectrum of the performing arts study programme and capture the current artistic explorations of young creators and performers.

The festival offers Tallinn audiences a rare opportunity to see emerging talent from Viljandi before these artists make their mark on the wider cultural scene. For the students themselves, it represents a chance to present their work to a new audience beyond their home city.
