Salto Straw Bale Theatre
February 6, 2012 By Leave a Comment
NO99 Straw Bale Theatre in Tallinn, the largest city in Estonia, was a temporary theatre built by a group of Estonian artists to celebrate Tallinn’s status as 2011 European Capital of Culture. The straw bale theatre was built by the artists above an old fortified hilltop, a site that used to host Soviet troops at a Summer theatre, before it was abandoned twenty years ago.
The NO99 Straw theatre consisted of a stepped tunnel that lead to a rectangular hall, with the walls of stacked straw bales held together by trusses.
