Anton Chekhov "UNCLE VANIA" (Dir. Tadas Montrimas)

A one-act (1 hr 15 min) immersive performance taking place at Markučiai Manor, Vilnius, Subačiaus St. 124. The performance is staged in Russian. For those who do not understand Russian, a guide-description (LT, EN, PL) will be provided before the performance to help experience and understand it. In this innovatively conceived performance, spectators, accompanied by a guide, travel through different locations, becoming invisible and silent witnesses to the events unfolding there. The A. Pushkin Museum in Markučiai is an ideal venue to recreate the late 19th-century "scenes from provincial life," as Chekhov himself called them. Not only the convenient geographical location and the museum rooms, which have preserved their authenticity and atmosphere, but also the hilly landscape around the house, are suitable for staging individual scenes not only indoors but also outdoors, thus offering the audience a true "time travel" experience. Spectators attending "Uncle Vanya" are divided into 4 groups of 15 people. Each group is assigned a guide – a "stalker" – whose task is to coordinate the audience's journey through Chekhov's work, written in 1896. The guides will introduce their groups to the rules of the upcoming performance, the audience's duties and rights, and distribute masks, which spectators will not be allowed to remove until the end of the performance. Simultaneously, 4 separate scenes will be performed, observed by different groups of spectators, who will move through the performance space according to the guides' instructions. The rooms in Markučiai Manor are separated by doors, but both the audience and the play's characters, while in their own environment, can hear the life happening beyond the wall. The creators of "Uncle Vanya" aim not to recreate the play's plot, but the very situation – Voinitsky's home overflowing with hatred, self-reproach, anger, and at the same time, love and passion. We want to create conditions for the audience not only to observe but also to experience, to maximally immerse themselves in completely new sensations, experiences, and feelings. The performance is shown in Russian.
