„The Feminist's Handbook for Eastern Europe“ | Kaisa Ling Thing | Kopli Couture

As seen at EDINBURGH FRINGE!

Estonia's best (albeit only) feminist vaudeville blues band presents their first English-language program.

A young woman born in independent post-occupation Estonia sings of the Soviet residue that pollutes the minds of some of her fellow countrypersons and restrains feminist progress.

They said it's impossible to combine blues and feminism; they were wrong.

They said you can't write a song about elder lesbian couples; they were wrong.

They said feminists are not entertaining and funny; they were wrong.

REVIEWS:

"If there's a name for a woman who's chic glamorous and modernly feminine in Estonia it's Kaisa Ling. And her Thing. Resistance is futile I recommend surrendering."

"Incredible vocals electric stage presence percussion and pizazz all accompanied by one of the best pianists l've seen playing live at the Fringe."

"Her show is brilliant and she's come all the way from Estonia so highly recommend you get to her while she's here! Cracking songs touching and inspiring"
