Chela De Ferrari presents "La gaviota"
This is a story of unrequited love. Konstantin, son of the great actress Arkadina, is in love with Nina, herself an aspiring actress who falls in love with Boris, a man of letters. It is a tragedy on the edge of comedy, which will end in a gunshot. And before that, all those characters will have been tormented by their desires and overwhelmed by their powerlessness, until everything seems futile... Accompanied by the Madrid Centro Dramatico Nacional, appearing for the first time at the Festival, Chela De Ferrari approaches The Seagull with a cast mostly made up of blind and visually handicapped actors. The Peruvian director continues to bring new blood to great works of the repertoire with help from performers who define themselves as disabled. By bringing the audience closer to their lived experience, she sheds new light on Chekhov’s play.
En esta adaptación, la directora y un grupo de actores, en su mayoría con discapacidad visual, insuflan cierta intimidad a una de las obras capitales de Antón Chéjov. La primera creación del Centro Dramático Nacional de España en el Festival de Aviñón.
