Three Sisters

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Chekhov is everywhere. On stages. At home and abroad. Moreover, ineffably he has always been present in the small everyday things. In the lingering on and in the yearning. The production sets out to explore the question of what is the interest of our present time in a play that is based on time. In what way does a play inhabit time and in what way does time inhabit a play? The irony lies in the fact that, in spite of our temporal acceleration, there is increasingly less time left to us. We don’t even take that much time to sit at the railway station, if for no other reason than to watch life pass by us. We simply linger on in this time and space although we constantly yearn to go someplace else. Until we are sometimes simply chased away. Although: "There is no happiness, neither here nor there.”

A play for our present time, in which the timespan is truly small. With few characters and even fewer actors. A play that will endure. Until we are gone.
