HER STAGE FESTIVAL: Three Sisters

THREE SISTERS
ADAPTATION OF ANTON CHEKHOV
A bold modern adaptation of Chekhov’s classic play, reimagined through female voices, memory and inner resistance.

## At the edge of time, in the last fragile years of the Russian Empire, three sisters dream of Moscow as if it were a promised land. Around them, history is quietly preparing its storms: revolutions, war, collapse. But before the world breaks, their own lives begin to break first — through waiting, lost love, family duty, and choices they are never fully allowed to make...

## More than a century later, their longing still feels painfully familiar. In times of global change, women’s lives often become especially vulnerable — caught between private dreams, social expectations, instability, and the lack of real choices.

Told by four actresses, Three Sisters places the female characters at the centre of the stage — their dreams, hopes, disappointments and invisible inner battles.
This adaptation opens Chekhov’s world through a contemporary female gaze — intimate, emotional and visually symbolic.

# A story of waiting. Of choices not made. Of dreams that keep people alive.
