Voskresinnia confrontates us with their interpretation of Chekhov’s masterpiece The Cherry Orchard. The theme of the changing values of a so­ciety that has grown complacent, is still relevant today. These Ukrainian artists only touch the tip of the ice­berg, while the audience feels it has been taken on a journey to vanity, yearning and a painful loss of time. Voskresinnia combines dramatic sets and dynamic music, both of which are complemented by captivating special effects.

The performance is very Chekhov-style and at the same time very mod­ern and actual. Very intelligent and very creative. It is a producer’s per­formance. Just from the first seconds of the performance spectators are re­moved to the age of cherry orchards.

At the same time actors clearly decla­rate by visual effects (scenography – Alla Fedoryshyna) some “retreat of person, who plays” from all the events on the scene. Ranevska-Fedoryshyna shows to the spectator all palette of her hero’s feelings…

Some plays are eternal. There are a lot of productions and treatment, but they are always actual and interest­ing. One of such eternal stories – “The Cherry Orchard” by Anton Chekhov. Every hero of the performance is ill: someone because of love, other – loneliness… But they cannot cure. The only thing that unites everybody is the Cherry Orchard, like a symbol of a paradise, childhood, “the best sight on the planet”. “I cannot imagine my life without the cherry orchard. And if it must be sold, then sell me to­gether with my orchard”, - says Lubov Ranevska, but does nothing to save her Edem. As a result of inactivity – the orchard is sold, and all its inhabit­ants have to find for themselves other shelter, other careless paradise.
