"Dolorosa": a caustic portrait of a generation at Rond-Point

Rebekka Kricheldorf's play Dolorosa, inspired by Chekhov's Three Sisters, runs at the Théâtre du Rond-Point from March 5 to 15, directed by Marcial Di Fonzo Bo.

With Dolorosa, playwright Rebekka Kricheldorf takes Chekhov 's beloved themes of melancholy, disillusionment and unfulfilled dreams and transposes them to a resolutely contemporary setting. Directed by Marcial Di Fonzo Bo, the show offers a modern variation on The Three Sisters, in which the heroines' boredom and frustration resonate with today's existential questions.

In Dolorosa, the three sisters, emblematic figures of Chekhovian theater, evolve in a society where urgency and uncertainty dictate trajectories.

The text, imbued with biting irony, sketches an acid portrait of our times, blending gravity and lightness in a vaudeville of existence.
