“If ever you have need of my life, then come and take it.“
A young girl grows up on a lake shore. And a young boy loves her to death. In the parlour of a country manor house, seven characters meet, talking, sharing silence, thinking… And time passes in empty conversations and unfulfilled desires as slowly as a sinking ship.
Chekhov’s iconic play develops the theme of unrequited love and amorous conflict, as well as an artistic dispute between the young, hopeful, experimental generation and the ageing, legendary one. Despite the play’s age, it is still a vibrant text, which, directed by Jiří Havelka, comes to life in the striking scenic design of scenographer Dáda Němeček.
Warning: the scenic effect may cause dizziness.
