Chekhov across time and space

This new version of the drama aims to create a deep cross-cultural dialogue, notes Feng. Director Doiashvili, known for his innovative staging and rich theatrical expressions, is no stranger to Chinese audiences. His production of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream was staged in Beijing during the Beijing People's Art Theatre International Theatre Festival, which took place in October and November.

Doiashvili sees the stage as a space where diverse cultural forces can merge, and he hopes to create a new emotional and intellectual experience for the audience. As he puts it, "Through this work, I hope the audience will not only see Chekhov's characters but also reflect on their own life journeys."
