Moscú no existe

A stage proposition that draws on the world of Anton Chekhov to speak of uncertainty, disillusion and waiting in today's society, through four characters who engage with the concerns of the 21st century.

The play takes as its basis the dramatic universe of Chekhov and brings together in a single story four of his great plays: Uncle Vanya, The Seagull, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard. Rather than a conventional adaptation, it offers a reflection on the frustrations of the present, with the ironic and humorous tone that characterises the writing of the Russian author.

On stage, four characters embody very current conflicts. Ivan represents those who discover too late that they have lived fulfilling other people's expectations; Aleksei, economic success built as a refuge from existential emptiness; Ania, a generation of young artists trapped between precariousness and faith in their ideals; and Anfisa, the care that goes unnoticed and those whom a utilitarian society sets aside when they are no longer considered useful.

The production arises from the meeting between L'Om Imprebís, a company with more than four decades of history, and French director Michel López, a leading figure in improvisation theatre.
