A mustache gentleman looks at the audience and actors from the depth of the stage in the depths of the stage throughout the show.
“I would love to have a father. Its desire for a father is both sweet and… And it can be both as a father in a family and a father as God, but that desire for a father is very present, at least for me, ”Vladislav Nastavshev pointed out.
The actors speak almost in a whisper, playing all of Chekhov’s psychology into intonations. A bright ensemble of Latvian theater actors has gathered for the performance
The sophisticated work with form is accompanied by a filigree work with Chekhov’s text, without shortening the word in the play. Dialogues from the stage are heard in both Russian and Latvian, with subtitles in both languages.
“It simply came to our notice then.
Look at who the Latvians are and what the Russians are, and why it is still rubbing. ”
explained Nastavshev.
The costume style clearly marks the change of era. This is Chekhov forever, flirting with modern technology as well.
“Very sensitive, very subtle energy, with which its performance is wonderful and at the same time quite complicated,” says actress Dana Bjorka.
The audience dedicated the first “bravo” to the ensemble already during the rehearsal.
