The summer performance in Pärnu about a young sea bear moves to Tallinn's Seaplane Harbour for the winter

A summer theater performance about a young sea bear is relocating to Tallinn's Seaplane Harbour for the winter season, offering themes of maritime adventure and family love.

The summer performance titled "Noore merekaru esimene suurem seiklus" (The Young Sea Bear's First Great Adventure), directed by Tiit Palu, has temporarily moved from the Pärnu Yacht Club's sailing shed to Tallinn's Seaplane Harbour. This theatrical production combines music and storytelling, captivating audiences with a tale of a young boy named Oskar, who is deeply in love with the sea, and his mother, who is concerned about his passion. The performance not only addresses themes of maritime knowledge and wisdom but also explores the dynamics of their relationship through adventure and romance.

Saara Nüganen and Oskar Seeman lead the cast, while lively music is provided under the direction of boatswain Marko Matvere. According to Nüganen, the performance serves as a "love letter to the sea," highlighting the beauty and adventure found in maritime life. The narrative's emotional depth is reinforced by the mother-son dynamic and their discussions about the sea, inviting audiences to reflect on their own relationships with familial love and passion for nature.

The Seaplane Harbour setting enriches the production, offering ample space for innovative staging and audience engagement, such as using binoculars to spot real maritime signals. The collaboration with the maritime museum has been warmly received, allowing for an immersive experience that connects the story to real-world maritime culture and the natural environment, making it a unique addition to Tallinn's cultural landscape this winter.
