Platonov

With Chekhov’s early play “Platonov”, Karin Henkel achieves a detailed and lifelike portrait of a bankrupt, stagnating society longingly awaiting better times. With great invention and an unbridled love of detail the director finds a whole series of sparks of wit and life amid the boredom of even the most contemptible everyday life. The production is a persuasive ensemble performance based around Felix Goeser as the drunken, cynical, heady and sensual village schoolteacher Platonov. A discovery!
