After 25 years of performing various scenes and plays by Chekov, Guillaume Gallienne realized that Chekhov is especially apt for helping an actor work on the fundamentals. Acting Chekhov is similar to being part of a democratic choir; there is no center. Instead, what’s at stake is the recurrence of certain motifs. Over the course of this semester-long workshop, Gallienne has explored these motifs with a group of Princeton undergraduates, setting aside the narrative progression of Chekhov’s plays in order to create bridges between them. On Tuesday, May 1, at 6.00 PM, students will present a set of scenes to the public.

The performance is in English.
