Lovely Lynx

A four-member urban family – husband, wife, son and their son’s girlfriend – go camping in the woods to make a fire, sing tunes and play the guitar, and enjoy the mysterious nature of our native land. Maybe even get a glimpse of a wild animal? The son has some news for his parents, which brings up different reactions. By morning, one of the campers is missing. Sounds like a worn-out crime story?

On the contrary, this is a witty tragicomedy that twists and turns in many surprising ways. The play addresses several sensitive topics for contemporary Estonians and goes to “places where one should not go and that one does not come back from”. Being set in the woods, wild creatures also happen on stage.

This play by actor, stage director and dramaturge Ott Aardam won 2nd Prize at the play competition of the Estonian Theatre Agency in 2023.

Premiere on 26 April 2025 at the Harbour Theatre
