BEIJING, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) — A play based on Russian writer and playwright Anton Chekhov's short story "The Lady with the Dog" will be staged at the upcoming Wuzhen Theatre Festival in China, a press conference for the event was held on Tuesday.
The 12th Wuzhen Theatre Festival will be held from October 16 to 26 this year in the town of the same name in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, east China, according to a statement from the organizer posted on its official account on Chinese social media platform Wechat.
The above-mentioned performance will be prepared by the Chinese troupe “Babeta” /”Tower of Babel”/. The director of the play is She Mujie, a graduate of Gennady Trostyanetsky’s class at the Russian State Institute of Performing Arts.
The play is based on the classic work by A. Chekhov, “The Lady with the Dog,” written in 1898. It tells the story of a hidden affair between a married man and a married woman. As the post suggests, the Chinese director’s adaptation is bold, avant-garde, and original, and aims to maintain a delicate balance between interest and deep meaning.
The 11-day festival will feature 71 performances of 25 dramas from 10 countries, including 10 Chinese and 15 foreign ones, the press conference said. -0-
