The Seagull

It is hot. Everything becomes exhausting, and it would be better to resolve nothing at all. Yet Nina wants to be an actress, Treplev seeks new forms in art, Arkadina refuses to accept her age, and Trigorin finds no inspiration for writing. Each yearns for something - and the relentless heat awakens passions and unconditional love. But desire remains unfulfilled, and they return again and again to melancholy, stagnation, and the dream of another, perhaps better life.

The production opens up the theme of courage and inability to discover different forms of relationships: fatal love, one-sided longing, the need to be loved, and the belief that happiness will come with someone else. What can modern love give us? Can we love anyone other than ourselves?

The artistic and directorial-dramaturgical collective of HaDivadlo search in Chekhov's text for themes that, despite more than a century's distance from the play's creation, still return: the desire for love, recognition, change, and a different life.
