Presented by: Piip and Tuut Theatre

Piip and Tuut Theatre was formed by two actors Haide Männamäe and Toomas Tross and named by their clown characters Piip and Tuut. They have been performing together since 1998 and established the authentic Piip and Tuut Playhouse in Tallinn, Estonia in 2010. They graduated from Theatre School in Tallinn, Estonia based on Stanislavski's method, and The Commedia School in Copenhagen, Denmark based on Lecoq's method.

There are more than dozen different stage productions in the repertoire of Piip and Tuut Theatre, including 4 TV-series and their own web-channel (piipjatuut.tv). In September 2025 a new documentary movie "My Family and Other Clowns" about Haide Männamäe and Toomas Tross was released. Piip and Tuut Theatre have been touring around the world for 20 years in Europe, North America, Middle East and Asia.
