Platonov (Platonow)

by Anton Chekhov in a version by Timofej Kuljabin and Roman Dolzhanskij
A retirement home for aged artists in the middle of nowhere. The exiled Russian director Timofej Kuljabin has transferred the ensemble of his production of Platonov to this final setting for the forgotten and abandoned; here, actors who are no longer in the limelight spend their 'retirement'. But they are not simply waiting for death; instead, they ignore it and recall the highly emotional and difficult moments of their lives. And so the plot of Anton Chekhov’s first play, Platonov, about the chaotic love life of a disillusioned school teacher, is resurrected in a setting where the characters are close to death. An ultimate comedy about the futureless and the lost, who strike up a last macabre and mournful dance about the disappearance of love, life and perhaps culture.
