DREI SCHWESTERN

In the organizer's words:

The sisters Masha, Irina and Olga have been living in a provincial town in Russia for over ten years. After the death of both their parents, the three of them long to return to their home in Moscow, away from the confines of the provinces. Olga works as a teacher, a job that demands a lot of her time and energy. Masha is married to a pedantic teacher, while Irina suffers greatly from the monotony of her life. Her gambling-addicted brother Andrej, who dreams in vain of an academic career, has gambled away their joint inheritance and with it all the financial means necessary for a move. So they are stuck, lonely and without hope of change.
A few years later, Andrei is a father and administrative secretary; his wife Natalya increasingly takes over the running of the house. The love affairs of Masha, Olga and Irina fail, again leaving them alone and disillusioned. The longing for Moscow is greater than ever, and moves further and further away. In the end, the three sisters remain back in the provinces, trapped in the same monotony and loneliness of their everyday lives.

Chekhov's drama tells of the lives of three sisters around 1900, who seem to be trapped in a world without change, without passion and without meaning. Time and again, expectations are disappointed, wishes and plans fail. Chekhov draws his characters with admiration and love for the diversity of human emotions: "A thousand years from now, people will still be moaning: 'Oh, it's so hard to live!"
