About the Performance:

Masha loves Kostya. Kostya loves Nina. Nina dreams of becoming an actress. The actress Arkadina loves a writer. Sorin once dreamed of being a writer too - now retired, he simply wants to live. Doctor Dorn does not treat Sorin - because he came here not for Sorin, but for Arkadina… Soon, a performance staged by Kostya - Arkadina’s son - is about to begin. There are no sets. Just empty space. Why The Seagull again? And what answers is a small theatre in Kazakhstan searching for in the 21st century, for the hundred-thousandth time? What matters more - tradition or experiment? Does talent destroy, or elevate one above the crowd? What is the meaning of life, and how does one survive a crisis - by writing a play about the apocalypse, or by hiding in a small country estate, fishing by the lake? How do we learn to live in a world where «hate» and «cancel culture» have become the norm? Once again, the theatre stages a play. And once again, it begins with the words: «People, lions, eagles, partridges, horned deer…»

The performance «The Seagull» was created with the support of Freedom Ticketon, partner of its 25th anniversary season.
