"Documents of the staging" of the play The seagull at the Orologio Theatre in Rome.

Stage Russia HD (Satirikon Theatre): Anton Chekhov’s first of four major plays dramatizes the romantic and artistic conflicts between its four main characters: Boris Trigorin, a well-known writer, the ingenue Nina, the fading actress Irina Arkadina, and her son the would-be playwright Konstantin Tréplev. Yury Butusov's frenetic production abounds in an incredible freedom and openness, delving deep into the throes of artistic creation and the anguish of the artist who struggles to find a language of his own. This is not only a performance about the theatre, it is an anthology of the theatre that devours its children like monsters. With the shuffling of actors' roles, you begin to sense something of a quadraphonic portrait of the creative personality, which demonstrates that greatness is precariously close to mediocrity while suggesting that the opposite is also true. Chekhov's characters are in the process of creating their lives or watching them fall apart, which, according to Butusov, may be a closely related activity.

A young writer is trapped between his awful actress mother and the knowledge that he has only a mediocre talent as a playwright and almost no force of character.

Nina, a young actress who finds herself in an emotional turmoil during her opening night, struggles with a rehearsal that challenges her limits.

The story of Nina, a young woman who dreams of glory and whose dream turns into a nightmare. The story of Treplev, a young poet crushed by an invasive mother, who wants to prove to the world that he exists, that he deserves to be loved. Chekhov invites us to witness a moment in the lives of individuals who have made a choice, and will have to live with the consequences...

An old actress, a young actress, a famous writer, a budding playwright, a depressed teacher, and one who always wears black, meet at a summer house and philosophize about art, boredom and the meaning of life. Everyone is in love, of course, but precisely with someone who does not love them back.

在康查洛夫斯基的电影《第一位老师》上映约 50 年后，这位电影人又呈现了“最后一位老师”的故事：一位讲俄语的老教师被一位讲土耳其语的年轻教师所取代。通过这一象征性的交替，影片描绘了一个处于转型期的地区。
