Politics and Resistance in Documentary Drama

Bokmässan Gbg lör 27/9 2025 16.30-16.50, Dramascenen.

A discussion between Staffan Julén, Head of Communications at the Institute for Futures Studies and a documentary film director, and Laur Kaunissaare, the Head Dramaturge of the Südalinna Theatre (formerly known as the Estonian Russian Drama Theatre). Their conversation explores politics and resistance in documentary theater throughout history – both during the Soviet era and in today’s context, when war once again erupts in Europe. What is the role and influence of documentary theater? Can theater serve as a bastion of resistance, or is it merely an illusion?
