THE VANJA EARTHQUAKE – LOOKING FOR CHEKHOV

THE VANJA EARTHQUAKE – LOOKING FOR CHEKHOV

The words and spirit of Anton Chekhov. A journey into the staging of his masterpiece set against Italian post-earthquake immobility.

Through an ideal dialogue between director Vinicio Marchioni and Chekhov – to whom Toni Servillo lends his voice – this documentary is a multiple journey: within the theatrical work, to earthquake locations, into Chekhov’s words and places.
It mixes genres and languages. But it is first of all a simple act of love, towards theater, literature and human resilience
