Prepare for an unequivocal brain-frying. The Free Musketeers are an improvising music group and accidental performance trope from Estonia, performing in and around jazz and free improvisation to create intriguing – and, more importantly, hilarious – set-pieces. Made in collaboration with philosopher and writer Jan Kaus, The Free Musketeers present Armastus, a performed ‘game’ based around a not-at-all annoying frenzy of repetition.
