Kultuurikatel
Cultural centre in old power station
Kultuurikatel (literally the “Culture Cauldron” although the space usually goes under the rather more prosaic English name of “Creative Hub”) is an arts centre and performance space based in a former power station that once provided much of Tallinn with its central heating.
Something of an icon to fans of industrial chic, the red brick chimney at the entrance to the complex once enjoyed a walk-on part in Soviet cinema history – this was where cult director Andrei Tarkovsky placed the entrance to the mysterious Zone in 1979 metaphysical classic Stalker.
