THE STORY OF TEA
This performance by DAH Theater takes as its starting point the classic drama APChekhov's "Three Sisters", which serves as a reference point, a framework that holds together different stories and themes. The central theme of the play - the train that will finally take the sisters to the place of their dreams - Moscow, or the situation of missed opportunities and squandered chances, inspired and provoked several important themes that DAH Theater's "Three Sisters" deals with. [2006]
"The memory that anamnesis tends to undo is the forgetting that occurs whenever violence is deemed justified."
Trains and missed opportunities led to missing people, missing languages and missing truths. This play explores the meaning of memory in relation to truth - especially the harsh truth. The question the play focuses on is not about hidden truths but about how we treat harsh truths. What happens when, for example, the truth about the kidnapping of people from a train during the wars in our country is disclosed and recognized even at the state level, but to this day the victims have not been officially mourned and their families have not heard a word of consolation? What are the implications of the mass of information we receive today through the media, information that is not treated humanely? What is the role of memory? What are the forms of amnesia of our time and how to create a ritual of anamnesis?
