The Cherry Orchard
“I’ll sit here for just a moment longer. It feels as though I’ve never truly seen these walls, this ceiling… And now, I’m looking at them as if to take them in for the very last time, with a warm, heartfelt affection.”
The collapse of a family, the end of an era…
Having lived in Paris for many years, Lubov Andreyevna returns to Russia after being betrayed by her lover and burdened with debts. Her family estate, along with the cherished cherry orchard, is to be auctioned to pay off what is owed. Lopakhin, once the son of a poor peasant who worked on the estate, has risen to wealth as a merchant. While Lubov and her brother search for ways to save their home from being sold, Lopakhin proposes a solution: cutting down the cherry orchard and leasing the land for summer cottages, a suggestion they firmly reject. In the end, the estate is sold, and Lopakhin becomes its new owner.
A reflection on emotional turmoil, contradictions, miscommunication, and the futility of life… Originally written as a comedy by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, The Cherry Orchard has found its place in world theatre literature as a poignant drama.
In this original language performance, all characters are brought to life by Dilfuza Rozyyeva.
