Sisters

“Away!” is the mantra of Chekhov's Three Sisters and those close to them – and yet, at the end of the play, no one leaves. In Sisters, however, the new Zurich version, a single remaining person stays behind. With a delicate sketch that continues the end of the play, director Leonie Böhm and actor Lukas Vögler create a haunting monologue about exiting stale life plans, and the power that lies dormant beneath one's own passivity. The live camera from the Pfauen becomes an intimate witness to a path into solitude. But then one's own vulnerability fuels the inner fire and becomes a springboard for a new future beyond foreign role attributions and preconceived feelings that we sometimes drape around ourselves like cutting patterns.
