Kaili Viidas brings three productions to the stage this summer

Actor and director Kaili Viidas is forgoing a summer break and bringing three productions to theatre audiences in the coming months. She talks about her journey into theatre and her creative collaboration with Ott Kiluski.

This summer, while many people are planning holidays, actor and director Kaili Viidas is fully immersed in creative work. In the coming months, she is bringing no fewer than three productions to theatre audiences, demonstrating her extraordinary dedication to the theatrical world.

Viidas has spoken about her journey into theatre as something that has been a deeply personal process. Her directing career has brought a new perspective to her acting and vice versa-these two roles continuously complement each other.

Viidas particularly values her creative collaboration with Ott Kiluski. She has acknowledged that the most interesting ideas and thoughts emerge through creative disputes, where two strong creators defend their positions and something new and valuable is born from their collision.

"Those who have never stood on both sides of the line are quick to draw boundaries," Viidas has said, referring to how experience on both sides of the stage curtain-both as an actor and as a director-gives her a unique perspective for creating theatre. This view reflects her conviction that true creation requires personal experience, not merely theoretical understanding.
