Baltic House

The Theatre Festival "Baltic House" does a great work of developing cultural ties with the BSR countries, namely exchange tours, the Days of National Cultures, performances staged in conjunction with other theatres. However, more attention is given to international festivals focusing mainly on the BSR countries. The Festival organises international events such as the festival of mono-performances "Monocle", the festival of free arts "Solsctice" and the festival "Baltic House".

The "Baltic House" Festival celebrated its 10^th anniversary this year. About 100 theatres participated in it from the beginning. All these years St. Petersburg was a host. "Baltic House -2000" exceeded the frames of St. Petersburg and became common for Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. The theatre wave went through the three Baltic republics and gave a start to the St. Petersburg "Baltic House", having united Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia in a indissoluble ring. A special delegation consisting of international theatre workers, critics and journalists participated in this "ring". Memorial medals of the festival were presented to theatre workers from Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia who made a significant donation in formation and development of the "Baltic House" festival.

Organisers of the festival hope that the initiated idea of the "Baltic Ring" will be continued, new creative contacts, as well as theatre net of the Baltic Region may be started.
