Theater | Three Sisters Come and Go: Based on Chekov, Beckett and Kristeva

Monday, May 17, 2010, 8:00 pm

Pay-what-you-can admission policy

A new piece directed by Orietta Crispino (Piccolo Teatro, Milan). It is inspired by French philosopher Julia Kristeva, who argues that we live under a crisis of disappearance and representation which compels us toward silence, paralysis, and ultimately a melancholia of longing. Set between the apparently opposite poles of Anton Chekhov and Samuel Beckett, the piece follows the lives of the three archetypal Chekhovian women and their desire to reconstitute their lives beyond their sense of profound loss.

The piece was devised through a collective process among Crispino (who conceived the piece), Italian dramaturg Marco Casazza, and the three actresses: Liza Cassidy (Patricia Wilson’s Zia Dance Company), Claire Helene, and Jackie Lowe (Broadway: The Tap Dance Kid, Ain’t Misbehavin, Eubie). All of the text is drawn from Beckett's Come and Go, and the voices of the women from Chekhov's major plays.
