Presented by Marie Labory (ARTE journal)
In presence of Éric Ruf, general administrator of the Comédie-Française and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi
Valeria Bruni Tedeschi gives a free, faithful, and modern adaptation of Chekhov's play, the poignant chronicle of a life that shatters dreams. Clear and heartbreaking, this version of Three Sisters highlights the play's modern quality, while remaining fundamentally faithful to Chekhov's text. With its inspired direction and its actors coming together as one in the beautiful and timeless setting of a large country house, this intense story of disillusionment hits right where it hurts.
Éric Ruf
