Description
"Orchard Development"Directed by Paul Draper / Choreography by Kristen Daley
"Orchard Development,” is a multi-media dance/theater mash-up based on Anton Chekhov’s "The Cherry Orchard." Humorous, self-mocking and poignant; the production is an exploration of text, movement and image in a post-modern reverie of change, loss and the impermanent nature of experience.
The story of an aristocratic Russian family facing imminent bankruptcy and the sale of its famous cherry orchard and family home is loosely re-set in the American Midwest. A multi-layered experience, SSU’s “Orchard Development” meshes mixed media, spoken word, original choreography and music in a fresh examination of Chekhov's great comedy.
