Acting out what they don't know about themselves, they discover life's truth through comedy. Tragically funny, unaware of themselves, they draw us into a game full of love, conflict, and liberation. They speak little but reveal much - about themselves, about life, about all of us. In Chekhov's works, there are no great events - as the drama begins, so it usually ends. But in these two charming, truthful, and humanly warm one-act plays, Chekhov introduces vivid sketch-events, revealing changes in characters. We witness the moment when they, surprised, recognize new shades of character that they had not even suspected they possessed before. I hope the audience will recognize a performance where truth is revealed through laughter, and tragedy turns into a smile!"Chekhov's genius at work!" - his seemingly ordinary, everyday dialogues conceal deep truths about us. In this case, the direction leads the game, reveals the subtext, and all this through the prism of laughter and comedy as Chekhov always wanted his works to be played, as comedies!Directed by: Stefan SablicCostume and set design: Boris Caksiran Speech: Dr Ljiljana Mrkic PopovicOrganization: Irena PrvulovicPhotography: Ana KosticMusic selection: Stefan SablicSound design: Jelena CiricLighting design: Marko DjuricCatalog design: Aleksandar Djordjevic
