The Odeon Presents THE CHERRY ORCHARD, 9/22

'The Cherry Orchard' by Anton Chekhov, directed by Julie Brochen will be presented at the THÉÂTRE DE L'ODÉON September 22 through October 24 2010.

The Cherry Orchard : a deeply moving celebration of the passing of time, a final homage to beauty destined to disappear, a greeting of death that one can sense lurking, all of this addressed with a certain smile, a smile that is anything but ironic. It is now Julie Brochen's turn, director of the TNS, to dream up a new performance of The Cherry Orchard. In the leading roles, Jeanne Balibar and Jean-Louis Coulloc'h (who is returning to theater after Lady Chatterly's Lover), are going to lend their bodies and voices to this long poem of elusive shimmers. Approaching it requires great delicacy : being melancholic without indulging, weightless gloom, around an invisible garden that is doomed to destruction.
