Four directors, one Chekhov play, and a constellation ritual gone beautifully wrong.

The public (2025)

meta-theatricalintimate chaosactor therapy

Overview

After several unsuccessful performances, the theatrical project based on Anton Chekhov's "Three Sisters" seems doomed to oblivion. The desperate actors persuade the director to call on a constellator who can unlock the energy and summon the audience. During the constellation, the roles are reversed: the one who directs is directed, the one who acts is acted upon, and the one who assists is assisted... The participants' personal problems emerge, revealing new ways of understanding themselves and the play. Ultimately, we are all actors in our own lives.

Standout Aspects

Direction

Four directors somehow made a cohesive 20-minute fever dream.

Acting

Cast exposes raw personal trauma as 'performance'—blurred lines everywhere.

Best for:Solo: Late-night contemplation when you're questioning your own life choices.·Friends: Film school friends who love arguing about what 'cinema' even means.
Heads up:Triggers: Unscripted emotional vulnerability; real personal conflicts surface.
