Salle 6

Missaïl Polzoniov rêve d’un travail manuel quand son père n’aspire pour son fils qu’à une belle carrière digne de la famille. Pourtant, son septième renvoi précipitera Missaïl dans un théâtre amateur où il réalise des décors bénévolement. Là, il rencontre Anna Blagovo, une amie de sa sœur Cléopâtre, qui le recommande à la société de chemin de fer où il est embauché comme télégraphiste. Mais, il s’ennuie et la faim le tenaille. Aussi, quand le directeur de la ligne lui annonce son licenciement, il devient peintre en bâtiment. Un temps heureux et débarrassé de l’emprise de son père, il déchante pourtant rapidement…Anton Pavlovitch Tchekhov (1860-1904), médecin de profession, a publié entre 1880 et 1903 plus de 600 œuvres littéraires, principalement des pièces de théâtre et des nouvelles. Ses écrits mondialement connus sont marqués du sceau du réalisme par leur description inimitable de la vie de province russe.

Rothschild's Fiddle

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904) was a Russian short story writer and a playwright. His playwriting career produced four classics, while his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Chekhov practiced as a doctor throughout most of his literary career: "Medicine is my lawful wife, " he once said, "and literature is my mistress." Chekhov renounced the theatre after the disastrous reception of The Seagull in 1896; but the play was revived to acclaim by Constantin Stanislavski's Moscow Art Theatre, which subsequently also produced Uncle Vanya and premiered Chekhov's last two plays, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard. These four works present a special challenge to the acting ensemble as well as to audiences, because in place of conventional action Chekhov offers a "theatre of mood" and a "submerged life in the text." His originality consists in an early use of the stream-of-consciousness technique combined with a disavowal of the moral finality of traditional story structure.
