Guest performance "Krasnyi Fackel" ("Red Torch") Theatre Novosibirsk
Three Sisters (Drei Schwestern)
by Anton Chekov
There is (almost) no word to hear, but everything to see. Timofey Kulyabin's Three Sisters is, literally, a job that has not been heard of before! It is unheard of because the actors, with the exception of one character, do not speak to each other in the conventional sense, but talk to each other in sign language, with German and English surtitles for the audience. Kulyabin, born 1984, one of Russia's most exciting young directors, shows the Chekhov world and plays with it without betraying it. The actors play expressively and psychologically, realistically at the same time. The physicality of their play increases the performance's urgency – in the spirit of Chekhov. Kulyabin shows, with a new basic colour for each of the four acts, a longing, an uneasiness, a homelessness and a pain, which, precisely because they cannot be put into words in the usual way, seize the whole body, the whole person.
After celebrated guest performances in Vienna and Paris, Timofey Kulyabin and his Three Sisters from the "Krasnyi Fackel" ("Red Torch") Theatre Novosibirsk are now coming to the Deutsches Theater Berlin.

Timofey Kulyabin puts his protagonists in a naturalistic, like a movie set, set design by Oleg Golovko, but depriving them of their speech. But this only adds expression to them. A purely gestural interaction enhances every scene; one can rarely see such a true, emotional, high and radical Chekhov.

The production lives by with powerful images, such as during a fire the house becomes a refuge of fire victims. In a strong ensemble acting personalities shine, such, for example, Pavel Polyakov as Vershinin. But even the smallest roles are filled by strong actors. This evening theater shows why Timofey Kulyabin is considered as a very interesting figure among the directors of his generation.

This "Three Sisters" is a kind of opera, full of dissonance, rough, harsh sounds, desperate symphony, consisting of a short rise and a long fall.

Süddeutsche Zeitung
Kuljabin’s Introspective takes four hours, with three precisely timed intermissions. It is, if one can say so, an absolutely authentic text, but also absolutely new text production - a real surprise. In the center of the plot there is a great Russian question of Being and Soul: What is the meaning of life? "If you only knew it."
