In a distant future, in the year 4015, as a result of an experiment in reincarnation, three women - Masha, Irina and Olga - who died in the 20th century, begin a new life in another world.
They are the three sisters from the pièce by Chekhov. Sounds, fragments of phrases spoken long ago lead visions of the past to surface in the minds of the three young women, leading them to begin a new life.  Yet, in those semi-forgotten words lie the same hopes and aspirations of long ago, and it makes no difference if the destination of the heroines of the 41st century is a distant space station called Moscow, or the ancient capital of the Russian Empire. Is it possible to change one’s destiny?
The aim of the experiment is to answer this question.

“Actors - explains Andrij Zholdak - release the spark which fuels the fire of hope for a better future. The first actor ever was Prometheus, who challenged the gods and stole the fire from their celebrations, to give it as a gift to humanity. Actor, you are a chosen one, you are special, you are an oracle. You are not made of plastic, real blood flows in your veins. Remember that you heart hurts, it bleeds when faced with the slightest hint of ugliness and injustice. You are the keeper of the inner beauty of people. You nurture ideals which are carved within you. You are in the midst of the battle between good and evil, between purity and baseness. Many now depend entirely on you”.

The Russian seasons in Italy
It is a particularly solid relationship that unites the Piccolo with the Russian theatres of Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
The Piccolo’s shows find, in Russia, a cultured and attentive audience, characteristics which are also reflected in the Russian language productions proposed in our three auditoriums. The Piccolo has been collaborating with the Aleksandrinskij Theatre since 2006 and was invited to participate in the Festival which celebrated the 250th anniversary of this historical institution, whose current architecture was designed in 1832 by the Italian Carlo Rossi.
The Maly in Saint Petersburg, directed by Lev Dodin, and the Maly in Moscow, are regular visitors to our stages.
On the occasion of the 2018 edition of the Russian Seasons Festival in Italy, promoted by the Russian Ministry for Culture, Milan and the Piccolo seemed to be the ideal location for the theatrical section of the event.
The Teatro Strehler and Studio Melato will see the staging of three productions by the Alexandrinsky Theatre of Saint Petersburg - one of which has been written and directed by its director, Valerij Fokin - and a production by the Vachtangov State Academic Theatre of Moscow. From 27 November to 1 December, at the Chiostro Nina Vinchi, in the areas of the Piccolo and the School of Theatre, there will be meetings, exhibitions, conferences and in-depth studies dedicated to the authors, directors, and the extraordinary history of Russian theatre.
