Leonardo Lidi, resident director of the Teatro Stabile di Torino, reaches the third stage of the Chekhov Project and tackles the great Russian author's last work. Written shortly before the Russian Revolution, “The Cherry Orchard” foreshadows major social changes and the emancipation of servants from wealthy landowners.

For Il Gabbiano, the first stage of the Chekhov Project, director Leonardo Lidi creates a simple stage setting in which he weaves together a sound box for the emotions that drive the characters, isolated on the shores of a large lake on a summer estate.

Serebrjakov, Uncle Vanya's brother-in-law, is widowed and has remarried Helena. He wants to sell the country estate where the family lives: this unpopular decision sparks one of Chekhov's most famous dramas.
