Lovord til Kirsebærhaven

Kirsebærhaven fikk bare gjennomført to kvelder, før korona-restriksjoner satte en stopper for forestillingen. Likevel rakk flere av landets fremste teaterkritikere å få med seg klassikeren.

Dramaturg at Kilden Teater, Endre Sannes Hadland, is proud of the production, but also understandably sad that it was only performed twice for the public. 

- We are grateful and proud of the feedback we have received on the performance, and feel that the disappointment over the cancellation only becomes stronger when seen in light of the good feedback we have received," says Sannes Hadland.

Good reviews

Dag og Tid var av de få mediene som fikk med seg stykket. Anmelder Bent Kvalvik skriver «Ein fester seg fort ved den einsamt småpludrande Gajev, yndig framstilt av Håkon Moe, Ulla Marie Brochs introvert eksotiske Charlotta og Dagfinn Tutturens idealistiske student Trofimov. […] Inntrykk gjer óg Giert Werring som den gamle lakeien Firs, særskilt i den fjetrande sluttscena.»

Også anmelder Andreas Wiese i scenekunst.no leverte en strålende anmeldelse av stykket, og mener at “Det er dyktig gjort, dette er en svært ambisiøs satsing fra teatret og den leverer.”

Corona restrictions

The Cherry Orchard by Russianplaywright Anton Chekhov is one of the great classics of theater history. In Kilden Teater it was directed by French Laurent Chétouane and Sanna Dembowsky on costume design.

The performance was originally scheduled to run from February 26 to March 26, but due to corona restrictions it was only performed on February 26 and 27. This means that several hundred audience members lost the opportunity to experience the classic. Kilden is looking into the possibility of resuming the performance.

Strong version

- The play developed into a strong version of Chekhov's masterpiece under the direction of the aforementioned Chétouane. His interpretation of this classic shows why he is considered among the foremost theater directors in Europe. Hopefully, we can give The Cherry Orchard a second life at a later date," says Sannes Hadland.
