An Immersive Re-Imagining of Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard
Paris, France
October 6 & 7, 2022
We Will Return in the Spring delves into Chekhov’s iconic work The Cherry Orchard through an interdisciplinary approach that blends movement, music, and media with audience immersion.
Audiences are invited to join the family in welcoming home their beloved matriarch. As the revelries turn sour, and the imminent loss of the estate looms near, the festivities are cut short and the world of the play cracks open, luring the audience in the secrets hidden in the estate's corners and into the subconscious world of Chekhov’s characters.
We Will Return in the Spring is an opportunity to see past the seemingly flawless beauty of the cherry blossoms, dig into the soil, and expose what is poisoning the orchard at its roots.
A site-specific piece designed for historic spaces that allude to Europe’s past, the work preserves the essence of the themes that Chekhov raised at a moment of colossal change, while transporting the narrative to the 21st century European context.

4 rue des Trois Portes, 75005 Paris
