This is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the Parvis theater season. The latest production by the great German director Thomas Ostermeier, a true star of the European stage, repeatedly invited by the Avignon Festival and most recently receiving a standing ovation for his Richard III, will be presented at the Parvis on Wednesday and Thursday. After captivating Tarbes audiences two years ago with the tormented beauty of Ibsen's The Ghosts, he returns with The Seagull, another great play that he has just staged at the Théâtre de Vidy in Lausanne. A great name in contemporary directing and one of Chekhov's masterpieces, which we saw on the same stage in 2012 in a version directed by Arthur Nauzyciel. The encounter promises to be spectacular! The German director announces a radically updated reading based on a new French translation, a revisited perspective on the story of the young actress Nina, loved by a young author, Treplev, who has written her a play, to whom she prefers Trigorin, a renowned writer and lover of Treplev's mother. An impossible relationship full of disillusionment on the romantic, social, and artistic levels, as Chekhov knows how to capture. Thomas Ostermeier emphasizes the profound existential solitude of each of the characters in this tragic social comedy and its timeless nature by multiplying the echoes of our current world. A great moment of theater in perspective that theater lovers will not miss under any circumstances!
