Ariane Theatre: ‘The Cherry Orchard’ by Anton Chekhov
Featuring Mona Petri, Doris Schefer and Antonio da Silva
Housing, legal ownership and cultural heritage are discussed in a humorous yet melancholic tone. A theatre classic over a hundred years old that reveals a great deal about the times in which we ourselves live and argue.
The cherry orchard blooms beautifully, evoking a bygone era and promising a bright future. Yet its colours and fragrance obscure our view of the present. When the owner returns to the estate of her childhood after many years, circumstances have changed: The Cherry Orchard is to be auctioned off. The people gathering at the estate are grappling with fears of loss and anticipation, longings and loneliness, with the hope of a new beginning and the fear of a breakdown. This gives rise to absurd, tragic and comic misunderstandings, contradictions, rebellion and repression.
In an attempt to discover what still unites a divided society, Chekhov explored in his final play what divides it, and said of it himself:
‘It has not turned out to be a drama, but a comedy, in places even a farce.”
