A family gathers in their holiday home. You follow their dreams and desires, but also see their sorrow and jealousy. The younger generation tries to make its voice heard, while the older generation prefers to keep everything as it is. Director Nina Spijkers brings Chekhov’s comedy The Seagull to life in a new way. You will see, among others, Jaap Spijkers, Tamar van den Dop, Emma Buysse and Alex Hendrickx in a painfully recognisable clash between two generations.
Clash between two generations
A young, ambitious writer (Emma Buysse) presents her first play, with her partner (Alex Hendrickx) in the leading role. Together they want to change the world with their production. Her father and his partner (Jaap Spijkers and Tamar van den Dop), themselves a famous actor and writer, would rather keep things as they were. Is there room for a new voice, or does the older generation keep the door shut?
Vivid and dangerously funny
Director Nina Spijkers shows, with a fresh and bold perspective, just how vivid and dangerously funny Chekhov can be: “Chekhov is one of my favourite writers, because he may well be the finest analyst of the human soul ever to have written for the stage. He called his play a comedy. I very much look forward to capturing that lightness on stage.”
