Chekhovian

80 min

A dreamy, self-reflexive plunge into rehearsal life where performance and reality blur, rewarding patience with quiet, uneasy beauty.

Overview: Performance and reality refract into a chaos of images and dreams as a working class NYC theatre group subsumes itself in a year-long rehearsal and staging of Chekhov’s 'The Seagull.'
How it feels: Melancholic, earnest, tense and whimsical. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Art, identity, obsession, work
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
