Chekhov International Theatre Festival - Program 2013

By tradition the main part of Moscow Series will incorporate the more fascinating stagings of the world drama and musical theatre of the recent years.

The program of XI Festival will feature the stagings by directors and choreographers who have collaborated with the Chekhov Festival for more than one season. Thus the new works will be presented by Robert Lepage (“Playing Cards 1: the SPADES”, Canada); Matthew Bourne (“The Sleeping Beauty”, Great Britain); James Thiérrée (“Raoul”, France); Victoria Tierre-Chaplin (“Murmures des Murs”, France); Joseph Nadj (“Sho-bo-gen-zo”, France); Emmanuel Demarcy-Mota (“Rhinoceros”), Lin Hwai-min (“Nine Songs”, Taiwan). The cast of performers are also well-known to and much loved by Russian public: Sylvie Guillem (“6,000 Miles Away”, Great Britain); Aurelia Tierre-Chaplin (“Murmures des Murs”, France); Maria Pages (“Utopia”, Spain).

Besides, XI Chekhov Festival will present the works by directors, choreographers and troupes that have been so far little known in Russia. These include:

- Production by two German directors having long and with much success worked in Europe – Andreas Kriegenburg and David Marton. “The Trial” after Kafka, staged by Kriegenburg, will be presented by Münchner Kammerspiele within the framework of “Year of Germany in Russia”. David Marton’s staging of “Harmonia Caelestis” based on Peter Esterhazy’s novel will be presented by Burgteater of Vienna that hasn’t toured in Russia for over ten years.

- A small British company “1927”, having already made a name for itself both at home and internationally, will present an inventive and “incredibly strong-imaged” production “Animals and Children Took to the Streets”.

- São João National Theatre of Portuglal will show the production of “The Shadows” directed by Ricardo Pais. It was praised by critics as “a theatrical miracle”.

- Legend Lin Dance Theatre of Taipei (Taiwan) will introduce the Festival audiences into the unique art of choreographer LIN Lee-Chen.

For the first time the program of Chekhov Festival will feature two ballets by well-known Israeli troupe Batsheva Dance Company (“Deca Dance” and “SADEH21”). Public will be offered the work by choreographer Ohad Naharin and Batsheva dancers who are generally referred to as “pearls of modern dance”.

The Festival program features two co-productions with participation of Chekhov Festival: “Orpheus Syndrome” based on the works by Vladimir Mayakovsky and Jean Cocteau (in association with Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne, SounDrama Studio and Rudra-Béjar Lausanne, director Vladimir Pankov); and “As You Like It after Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream” (in co-production with School of Dramatic Art and Dmitri Krymov’s Laboratory, director Dmitri Krymov).

For the first time World Series will feature the production by young Byelorussian director Yekaterina Averkova (First Prize at the Youth Theatre Forum of the CIS, Baltic сountries and Georgia, Kishinev, Moldova, June 2012) “Office” after the like-named play by Ingrid Lausund.

The Festival will also incorporate the next Workshop with young directors from the CIS, Baltic countries and Georgia.

The Chekhov Festival carries on implementing the program of bringing the entries to the Festival to the regions of Russia. This time regional audiences will have the opportunity to see four stagings from “World Series”: “Murmures des Murs”, “Orpheus Syndrome”, “Deca Dance” and “Animals and Children Took to the Streets”, along with Chekhov Festival’s international projects “The Tempest”, “The Twelfth Night” and “The Three Sisters”. These productions will be shown at the Platonov Festival in Voronezh, as well as in St. Petersburg, Samara, Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk. The regional programs are sponsored by Regional Public Fund in Support of Chekhov Festival and official donor of the program VTB-24 Bank.

Three productions of the program will be presented in Riga by Chekhov Festival and Mikhail Chekhov Russian Drama Theatre.

The Moscow program of the 2013 Festival will be dedicated to outstanding Russian director Peter Fomenko and will feature the stagings by the maestro and his disciples.
