David Selvas directs this classic by Anton Chekhov, adapted by Martin Krimp.
The main theme of The Seagull centres on the different approaches to the creative process and the attitude of man as a subject of this creation. The characters in this play – written more than a century ago – bring different feelings to life, such as dissatisfaction, unrequited love, loneliness, and fear of ageing; emotions are that overwhelmingly pertinent nowadays. The characters are incapable of communicating with each other and unwilling to change a broken society nor the spiritual failure they live in.
“We should show life neither as it is, nor as it should be, but as we see it in our dreams”, The Seagull, Act 1. This phrase, written in 1895, continues to resonate in many works by great authors, playwrights, filmmakers and artists in the present day.
