DREI SCHWESTERN

Director: Stephan Mahn

Three young women—sisters from an upper-class background—dream of a new future, an alternative to the present: away from the provinces, their unloved daily lives, and the feeling of being superfluous—off to Moscow, the place of their childhood, the freedom they hope for, andtruelife.
But while they long for change, the here and now remains unlived.

124 years after its premiere, six actresses take up the questions and conflicts of the classic and bring Chekhov’s “Three Sisters” to life. They intertwine their own life stories with those of the sisters and bring their questions into the present: Who am I, and who do I want to be? What have I achieved, and what have I missed out on? What will remain of me?
A journey through time, which marches on ceaselessly and yet threatens to repeat itself. A cycle with no way forward, from which we must—with all our strength—find a way out!
