Three Sisters

The Russian provinces of director Jürgen Gosch and designer Johannes Schütz are a closed society. The world can do no more than muddle along in extreme pain in this long grey room with no windows, no father, no prospects and no sense. Although Chekhov expressed the needs of those shut off from the centre quite clearly, Gosch and his actors show that people do not necessarily want to understand each other. Not at the moment. They would much rather chase after tiny remnants of eternity which they hope to find in ideologies of work and in love. The precisely composed, and consistently polyphonic disorder of this evening then leads to a dark and definitive end.
