Catch This: 3Sisters.CZ

Today in local theatre

Tonight and tomorrow night are the final performances of 3Sisters.CZ, Czech playwright Iva Volankova's radically altered adaptation of The Three Sisters by Chekhov. Stepan Simek is responsible for this show's translation into English. The play, produced by the new theatre company GESAMTKUNSTWERK!, shows at Freehold Theatre, 2222 2nd Ave in Belltown at 8:00pm each night.

The theatre company's mission statement:

"GESAMTKUNSTWERK! (don't worry, we just mumble through it too) = to create total, unified works. To immerse; to create theatre as experience. To grasp by the throat and shake with yellowed fingers; to draw blood; to stroke your hair. To encourage sitting on the ceiling and leaping on the sand. To suppose fearlessness, to laugh with every atom of the body. To dredge the human depths. To Connect. To stutter through poetry, sob through knock-knock jokes, and sit in delirious silence. To hum really obnoxiously."

Sounds to me like a company to keep an eye on.
