Alina Sobotta, drama directing student, and Sarah Heinzel, dramaturgy student, have won the Open Call for the Prague Theater Festival in German with their study project "3 Schwestern".

The festival is a recognized international showcase of theater productions and projects from the entire German-speaking region, i.e. Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein. It works with renowned ensembles and theater makers and attaches great importance to the highest artistic standards. The dramaturgy focuses on theater productions that stand out either through innovative directing, an unconventional dramaturgical choice or interpretation, scenography or technological processing.

3 Sisters after Chekhov

The time has come, something monstrous is approaching, a violent storm is preparing, it's coming, it's already close...

"If you lose your sense of humor in Russia, you die." (Pussy Riot)

The three sisters Olga, Irina and Masha are vegetating in the provinces, but all they really want is to go to Moscow... Our adaptation of Anton Chekhov's classic is based on the regression from a supposedly higher level of political conflict to that of individual, mutual spite. The drama is condensed to its protagonists and the thin crust of civilization on which they move. Beneath this crust lies the darkness - there it seethes and ferments. During rehearsals in January 2022, the coming historical events were not yet foreseeable. Against the backdrop of the current political situation, we will critically examine new interpretations of the play.
