We want something good. We want that feeling you sometimes get in summer. We want laughter, energy and beautiful moments. Sweat, joy, nature, freedom. Music. White nights. Warm, still evenings. The sun. So hot it burns, and yet so soft. Caressing. Warm. At last, warmth. At last, light.

The production “25°C and Sunshine” was born from the wish for a place where summer would last forever. Dramaturg Paul Piik interviewed Estonians of different genders and ages, asking which moments, feelings and images connected with summer make their hearts beat faster. We found out. And now they’re on stage.

A quarrel between neighbours over mowing? It’s here. A beautiful moment? It’s here. Several times over. A drive to Pärnu with a Karl Madis cassette playing in the background? It’s here. And much more.

This is a playful, humorous production about the season Estonians look forward to and long for most. When should you visit Estonia? In summer. When should you visit Pärnu? Definitely in summer. In Pärnu, it’s now summer for twelve months a year—three months outdoors and nine months in the theatre. “25°C and Sunshine” is summer.
