Important notice regarding the Amphitheatre shows!
Being an open-air space, in case of rain, the following rule shall apply:
- if the rain starts before the show and the setup time allows this, the representation shall be moved to one of the theatre halls. Should this not be possible, it shall either be rescheduled, the tickets remaining valid, or the ticket money shall be reimbursed, or the tickets can be exchanged for another show from the Amphitheatre programme.
- if the rain starts during the representation, the show shall be suspended, rendering its rescheduling and the ticket price reimbursement impossible.

"I was glad to have been invited to work at Unteatru. I have rediscovered the atmosphere of my youth years at La Mama in New York, the same friendly and free spirit, a community of artists who, without any material consideration, are animated by the passion of doing theatre otherwise, of discovering "new forms." And the idea of ​​these new forms took me directly to Treplev and to the "Seagull", a play that pursued me all my life and which I did not fully understand, although I enacted it in different languages ​​on three continents, each time differently. I hope that this version will be the last, and although we shall not be able to unravel the mystery that makes a story ending in violent death to be classified by Chekhov as a "comedy", I trust that together we shall (re) discover the paradox that in theatre, the only permanence is the state of continual change. If we accept that no conclusion is definitive, we can embark on the quest."

Andrei Serban

Show presented in partnership with the Unteatru
