Fortyfive Downstairs Theatre's PROGRESS AND MELANCHOLY Plays Through November 29
A poetic new physical theatre work based on Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard. Chekhov's play is an exquisite, funny and sad exploration of people's behaviour during a time of monumental upheaval.
It is both deeply political and also light and human. Bringing together theatre, dance and live music to depict profound social change and disorientation, themes which are cogent in the present, Progress and Melancholy intricately blends these different languages to impart a sense of the transience of all things.
This project ventures into new territory in that it brings together new performance and dance with a classic theatre text. Marrying the non-narrative beauty of dance with the emotionally connected power of theatre, Progress and Melancholy is humourous, fresh and surprising. Director: Bagryana Popov Performers: (Actors) Todd Macdonald, Nadja Kostich and Majid Shokor (Dancers) Christophe Le Tellier, Paea Leach and Sara Black Musical Director: Elissa Goodrich
