"Cherry Orchard -rehearsal" ACTORS from SONG OF THE GOAT THEATRE
Portraits of The Cherry Orchard is based on Anton Chekhov’s drama The Cherry Orchard and is directed by Grzegorz Bral. The musical interpretation of Anton Chekhov’s drama has been composed by Guy Pearson and Maciej Rychły. It is the story of a lost paradise in which the eponymously squandered Cherry Orchard is symbolic of spoiled values becoming poetical myth. The characters’ memories of a former existence become an unreachable perfection. The Director has created for each character a story which is expressed through individual gesture, movement and dance. Underlined by an ever-present musical score, relations are formed, actions and characters defined and using Osip Mandelstam and Anna Akhmatova’s lyrical poetry, he creates notable “musical poems”.
