A staged workshop performance of a new musical.
Set to a Europop score, The Singing Revolution is a love story inspired by the events of the Estonian Revolution, where a nation sang its way to independence from Soviet rule.
After over a decade of occupation, Estonia has become resigned to its fate. But everything changes when a young local, Taavi, finds himself drawn to Sofia, the daughter of a Soviet commander.
As time passes and sides are picked, Taavi inspires his fellow countrymen to rise up and demand freedom through the unifying power of song.
But as revolt threatens to tear the lovers apart, can Taavi and Sofia’s love survive?
