NASHA MOSKVA
Le Colonel Astral
THEATER
95 ′
From 16 years old
A show freely inspired by Chekhov's Three Sisters
Nasha Moskva - which means "our Moscow" in Russian - is the story of three contemporary beings who are projected at the heart of the tale of the Three Sisters of Chekhov. It is a mirror game between three madmen, three characters, three magnificent actors who live this moment when reality contaminates fiction.
These three play their humanity around, with and at the very heart of Chekhov's work.

NASHA MOSKVA - which means "our Moscow" in Russian - is the story of three contemporary beings who are projected at the heart of the story of the Three Sisters of Chekhov.
It is a mirror game between three madmen, three characters, three magnificent actors who live this moment when reality contaminates fiction. These three play their humanity around, with and at the very heart of Chekhov's work.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
Beginning of the 21st century: three improbable beings - Sabine, Edith and Bernard - oscillating between marginal theater lovers and patients of a psychiatric center, are deeply in love with Chekhov's work, in which they identify with each other until the merger. Putting together this play for three, playing not only the three sisters themselves, but also the eleven other characters who make it up then becomes the stake of their lives.
End of the 19th century: three orphan sisters - Olga, Macha and Irina - live in the provinces in a large house on the outskirts of a rough town.
They feel like foreigners and dream of rediscovering Moscow, the mythical place of their childhood, the original paradise where they grew up.
