Memento: An Attempt to Bridge Two Worlds
“Memento” is a collaborative journey by Tambet Tuisk and Taavet Jansen, exploring how physical and digital performances can breathe. It is an experiment that examines how intimacy and presence can be maintained when the audience exists simultaneously in two distinct dimensions – in the theater and online. Each performance begins with a single small detail, opening the door to stories, dreams, and the flow of the moment. Visible and virtual audiences are integral to this process, making the hybrid performance alive and organic. “Memento” is an invitation to reflect on how technology and humanity can intertwine to create something unique and unrepeatable.

Memento is a hybrid performance. Online viewers can actively engage with the show. Personal, interactive, playful. Those who prefer an in-person experience can attend the performances live in Viljandi or join online via the elektron.art platform.
