A Brief Lesson on Estonian Culture

In the 18th century, wonderful discoveries were made - among other things, the guillotine, the steam engine and sparkling water were invented. The industrial revolution began and serfdom began to disappear. This time, Priit and Märt Pius will be helped in their cultural research by Roosmarii Kurvits, Fred Puss, Oliver Orro, Indrek Tarand and many others. Even a plow horse!

The Germans had spiritual interests. But how did they take care of their bodies? And what kind of life did simple Estonians live at the same time? In the fifth part, brothers Priit and Märt Pius explore manor life. For example, Nikolai Novosjolev teaches fencing, Liis Burk teaches knitting, and Mati Laur reveals how people had sex back then.

In the fourth part of the culture series, brothers Priit and Märt Pius have their hands full. They have to listen to the first opera performed in Estonia, print a gift for the wife's family in the style of Martin Luther, let out their poetic horse and sit in the University of Tartu's courtyard. Elina Nechayeva, Wimberg, Ken Ird and many others will help.

In the third part of the new series, brothers Priit and Märt Pius continue their journey through the Estonian Middle Ages. Among other things, they have to brew beer, release parrots, and find out why the lions painted by artists of the time look so strange. They are helped by Marko Mäetamm, Kaido Ole, Lisell and Robin Jäätma, Boris Dubovik, and many others.

The Middle Ages were a strange time - you wouldn't want to be there without antibiotics. Juhan Kilumets, Marju Kõivupuu, Valdur Mikita, Jane Vabarna and many others tell hosts Priit and Märt Pius how culture was made there.

How did we get from the first opera to Arvo Pärt and espresso macchiato? Or from Michel Sittow in handcuffs to a naksitrall? This is answered by Priit and Märt Pius' new series, in the first episode of which the brothers learn to make scallop ceramics and eat jurssi. Mari Kalkun, Anna Hints, Kirke Kangro, Aivar Kriiska, Aimar Ventsel and many others will be passing through.
