The play 'Everything is Jokk, Madam Minister,' directed by Peeter Raudsepp, is set to premiere at the Rakvere Theatre as the final project for the 32nd graduating class of the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre (EMTA). Raudsepp emphasizes that performing comedy requires a level of preparation akin to that of an athlete preparing for a sporting event, underlining the discipline and skills involved in the theatrical performance. This comedic production serves as a platform for students to showcase what they have learned during their training.

The narrative of the play revolves around the chaos that ensues when lies are introduced into the mix, demonstrating how quickly life can spiral out of control. Carolyn Veensalu, an EMTA student involved in the production, describes it as a classic doors comedy, where characters find themselves in absurd situations that elicit laughter from the audience. Veensalu hopes that viewers come away from the performance feeling lighter and more joyful, even if only for a moment amidst life’s challenges.

The use of comedy as a form of entertainment has been a long-standing tradition, lasting over two thousand years, and it serves not only to entertain but also to bring people together. Raudsepp and his team aim to deliver a performance that provides audience members with an escape from reality and an opportunity to reflect on life’s absurdities through humor. This production marks an important milestone in the students' artistic journey, leveraging traditional comedic elements while encouraging new interpretations in their craft.
