You want something good. You want that feeling you sometimes get in summer. You want fun, energy and beautiful moments. Sweat, joy, nature, freedom. Music. White nights. Mellow evenings. Sunshine. 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 to have a place where summer could 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. Neighbours arguing over mowing the lawn? You’ve got it. A beautiful moment? You’ve got it. Several times over. Driving to Pärnu with a Karl Madis cassette playing in the background? You’ve got it. And much more.

This is a playful and 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, summer now lasts twelve months—three outdoors and nine in the theatre. “25 °C and Sunshine” is summer.
