Last year, with “And Then Mr. Artaud,”, Chiten made a bright display of their dramatic skills and their powerful staging. This year they are back at KYOTO EXPERIMENT with a challenging new piece.
Starting in 2007 and continuing for two years, Chiten undertook the major project of staging a series called “The four great masterpieces by Chekhov”. “The Seagull”, one of the four plays, has been re-imagined for these two venues that are completely different.
By means of staging “The Seagull” –a title that brings to mind the ever propagating animal– in different spaces around Kyoto, such as the intimate space of a tatami room or the theater of a modern work of architecture, they aim to adapt their plays to these places. A total of 17 performances at two venues will run throughout the festival. The presence of Chiten here will surely impress audiences anew.
