A. Čechovo "Trijų seserų" sceninė interpretacija lietuvių teatre: R. Tumino variantas

ENNowadays “Three Sisters” by A. Chehkov is one of the most popular plays on the stage. At the end of the 20th century, typical of the scenic practice was controversy, to the interpretation tradition of that play. Sometimes it had turned to a deliberate breach of settled canons. A. Chehkov’s plays having been always intimate to Lithuanian theatre, Lithuanian directors, while working with “Three Sisters”, preferred to express their attitude to their own time and even to themselves. “Three Sisters”, directed by H. Vancevičius in Kaunas State Theatre in 1990, followed the “obligatory” interpretation style of Soviet theatre - the heroic interpretation, the clash between a dream and reality, “yearning for a better life”. In 1995 E. Nekrošius in his "Three Sisters” denied a number of stereotypes and disclosed peculiar features of doomed to failure Chehkov’s heroes, their tragicomical attachment to existence. The principal theme of R. Tuminas’ “Three Sisters” (2005) averted from the present and did not suggest any of its diagnosis. In that performance the time was treated in different aspects and different levels: the age of some characters was demonstrably emphasized while scenography, lights and music presented the idea of temporality and sinking to oblivion. On a small podium, called “chehkov’s ground” R. Tuminas has created a peculiar game of life dedicated to a reminder of what was and what will never be again.
