"Why are we worn out? Why do we, who start out so passionate, brave, noble, believing, become totally bankrupt by the age of thirty of thirty-five? Why is it that, once fallen, we do not try to rise, and, having lost one thing, we do not seek another? Why?"

 

In this new translation of Chekhov’s ”serious comedy of human contradictions”, a group of artists and dreamers meet in the countryside and wrestle with the costs of ambition, unspoken longings, and the harsh realities of artistic pursuits. Set against a backdrop of love, passionate aspirations, and the search for meaning, The Seagull captures the fierce hopes and quiet heartbreaks of an artistic career.  Directed by MFA Student Sebastián Bravo Montenegro.
