“The Lady with the dog” at The White Bear Theatre

From June 27 to 29 at The White Bear Theatre will take place screenings of the play The Lady with the Dog, created on the basis of Chekhov’s novel of the same name.

AЯT Theatre presents Chekhov’s poetic tale in the form of a black and white film. Director Dmitriy Turchaninov, alumni of The Moscow Art Theatre School where Chekhov’s plays were first performed, takes audiences on an impressionistic journey through the seasons and the psychological process of falling in love.

Gurov, a dissatisfied adulterer, pursues a trivial holiday romance with Anna Sergeyvna, an unhappily married woman. While Gurov sees it as a casual pastime, Anna falls deeply in love. When their secret affair comes to an end and they go back to their respective lives, summer turns to winter, and life will no longer be the same.

Dr. Chekhov’s tale reminds us that love may not make life easier or solve all our problems, but it guarantees an escape from boredom. Those content with a mundane existence are advised to approach love cautiously.
