A vida vai engolir-vos
Event
A 10-hour performance, in wich we can watch Chekhov's four main plays: The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard. The play was meant to be performed at night and to end at daybreak - making dawn the main character. Dawn is the future. What will be! In all these plays we are confronted with a question that haunted Chekhov: what will humanity be like in the future? A question that in these times of uncertainty and fear seems to haunt each and every one of us. Through the dissatisfaction and powerlessness of the characters enable us to think about how absurd our life is and how to change it. This is a performance about change. And change is on what we want to work: the shift from old to new, the failure of old practices, the liberation from old truths. In his work, Chekhov described the life of certain strata of the petty bourgeoisie of his time, disoriented and depressed people, beset by the collapse of a decaying society, looking at the vices and ambiguities of intellectuals torn between the will to transform reality and their inability to act vis-à-vis that society. - Tónan Quito
