Description
In 1908, in Paris, Nikolai Triik painted a portrait of his friend and colleague Konrad Mägi. It is believed that Mägi’s defiant gaze and cowering figure are best known from this very painting. It may well be Triik’s most famous work. But what lies behind this picture?
Fever is a fantasy based on biographical facts, in which Nikolai Triik tells us the story of Konrad Mägi. The shared journey of two close friends and contrasting creative spirits takes us to St. Petersburg and the Åland Islands, to Paris and Tartu—unfolding through artistic upheavals, a painful love triangle, and the founding of the Pallas art school in Tartu. It is also the story of a generation of artists who, with their fierce work ethic and ambition, laid the foundation for Estonia’s high culture against all odds… and then faded away with astonishing swiftness.
The production is created in collaboration with the Konrad Mägi Foundation.
Premiere September 20, 2025 Small Building of the Vanemuine Theatre
