THE PLAYERS

• Written by: Anton Chekhov
• Created and directed by: Kama Ginkas

“Life is Beautiful” is composition of three anectodes and a story named by Kama Ginkas as the “writer or not only today, but of the future”. The play deals with the sometimes comic, but mostly serious and tragic relationship between man and woman. The prologue, with the apperance of the “Woman with the Little Dog”, is sketched out like a circus theatre. Humor turns to irony, irony turns into sorrow. The elements of dance, music, story telling, the real values of moments of acting, which build up a warm and direct relationship with the audience, dominate the play.
