Young theater enthusiasts: theater is a form of therapy for us

Estonian students Ralf Kaasiku and Raul Tubarik discuss how attending theater serves as a therapeutic escape from daily life, coinciding with the upcoming Global Young Viewer Theater Day on March 20.

In a discussion on the TV show 'Ringvaade', high school students Ralf Kaasiku and Raul Tubarik expressed their views on the therapeutic benefits of theater. They emphasized that theater allows them not only to step out of their daily routines but also to gain new insights and topics for discussion after experiencing a performance. For many young people, including themselves, theater represents a crucial form of emotional and psychological relief.

Ralf Kaasiku shared his enthusiasm for theater, stating that he attended six performances in one week alone, highlighting how each visit offers something new and enriching after the pressures of school. He described leaving the theater feeling revitalized, suggesting that this form of art provides a much-needed break and rejuvenation from everyday stresses. His experiences underline a growing appreciation for the arts among youth, particularly for the restorative benefits they offer.

Raul Tubarik added that engaging with theater provides them with real stories and real emotions conveyed by the performers. He noted that their school's excellent teachers encourage them to attend theater, and while gaining access to tickets can involve navigating social connections, the overall experience is highly rewarding. This dedication to attending theater as a form of group activity and personal therapy further signifies a cultural trend among young people towards seeking fulfillment and healing through artistic expressions, especially in anticipation of Global Young Viewer Theater Day on March 20.
