"The First Dance. For the Last Time" ("Esimene tants. Viimast korda.") is a piece co-created and co-produced by Henri Hütt, Jan Teevet & Paide Teater and Kanuti Gildi SAAL. Rakvere version is produced by Baltoscandal festival.

"The First Dance. For the Last Time." is a celebration of dance, body and time. Fifteen local dancers fill the stage. Their average age is 63, but their energy is anything but average. They are ready. Ready to forget all about their pacemakers and hip replacements.They are ready to dance. For the first time. For the last time. Forever.

How does the body change over time?
How does dance change over time?
How does time change as the body dances?

The uniqueness of doing something for the first time is unforgettable. Doing something for the last time has a very significant place in our personal histories. The latter is a decision, because what could come after the last?
