Les enfants se sont endormis
Anton Tchekhov (Russia) & Daniel Veronese (Argentina)
The Argentine director Daniel Veronese in dialogue with Russian virtuoso author Chekhov? Who ever saw Veronese’s adaptation of Uncle Vanya (2009) knows that this will give off sparks. The present Les enfants se sont endormis is the result of a dramatic adaptation of Chekhov's The Seagull.
Veronese puts ten homeless characters on stage. They seem to have no morals, they manipulate each other, destroy each other. Is there a way out of the impasse?
