The Moving House Theatre company: The Cherry Orchard - -

30. Friday 21:00     Old Synagogue

'Are you asking what life is? You might as well ask how to define a carrot. A carrot is a carrot; that's all we can know.' (Chekhov)

Every performance reflects the period when it was put on stage. The presumption, though, that the world is going to be different by tomorrow, cannot be a reason for not taking pictures of it today. This Cherry Orchard is not that Cherry Orchard. This Cherry Orchard is our own past: the pile of our memories – it is a certain 'next world' compared to us. It is the realm of death, in which the roles are the dead. Our group's version of The Cherry Orchard was not written by Anton Pavlovitch but it could be reasonable even for him.

Chekhov, who was a doctor by profession, was searching for a long time how he could lessen pain in his own and in his patients' lives. It had taken him long to realise that telling tales often cured more effectively than any medical trick did. Similarly, the four-year-old Moving House Theatre Company is trying to find a cure for the everyday life by the help of a 'literary pharmacy'. The group's success so far proves that they have not only found a solution for their own lives, but they possess enough energy to manage to take their audience, evening by evening, to the magical world of theatre.

Az előadás a Sophiensäle (Berlin), a Grand Theatre (Groningen), a WUK Theater (Bécs) és a TRAFÓ (Budapest) koprodukciójában készült./The performance was made in co-production with the previously mentioned companies.
