“The Cherry Orchard” staged by Valter Malosti

Abstract

This article examines the production by Valter Malosti, The Cherry Orchard, writted by Čechov. Malosti refuses the taste for topicality that pushed Ostermeier, last year, to stage Čechov’s The Seagull in modern dress, changing the words of the text. This traditional and very faithful production, faces the great čechovian subjects (time’s and death’s fascination) but that doesn’t prevent an original approach according the artistic choice of a director as Malosti, usually inclined to Avant-gard theatrical inventions
