You want something good. You want that feeling you sometimes get in summer. You want laughter, energy and beautiful moments. Sweat, joy, nature, freedom. Music. White nights. Mellow evenings. Sunshine. So hot it burns. And yet so gentle. Caressing. Warm. At last, warmth. At last, light.

The production “25°C and Sunshine” came from a wish to create 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.

A quarrel between neighbours over mowing the lawn? It’s here. A beautiful moment? It’s here. Many 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, summer now lasts twelve months—three outdoors and nine in the theatre. “25°C and Sunshine” is summer itself.
