All of the links were burnt, the guy just can’t come back

Marrying a good Jewish lady out-of higher and you can noble like, Ivanov risked destroying his character, but the individuals as much as him are convinced he performed very out of mercantile considerations. As if a beneficial bird, test, however attempts to rise up, to-break through to the white, nevertheless coming matrimony having Sasha has been noticed an enthusiastic alliance “out-of calculation.” Actually 1st wife, Anna (Sarah), closes assuming him before death, last but most certainly not least therefore do Sasha. Ivanov (star Petras Venslovas) are neither capable explain to himself nor adjust themselves from inside the order to change were not successful relationships with people as much as your. The fresh new chilling religious problem ir shown tersely. Ivanov isn’t verbal, he does not chat far. Because if he was basically “fragmented,” hiding his religious county. The guy understands none how exactly to validate nor determine it, in fact it is thus even more delicate. Impotent not only up against the Borkins, but impotent to possess their spouse, Sasha, too. Undertaking not even the newest slight pastime, Ivanov in the first world of gamble doesn’t actually understand books (just like the program says). Only has just he had been strong and you will skilled, but now, senseless look fixed for the upcoming, he gnaws in the an apple ambivalently. It’s just not coincidental you to, half-jokingly, Borkin does not part this new gun at the Ivanov, as with Chekhov, however, within doc Lvov. Although try does not ring ahead in the finale, possibly, once again as the script claims. New champion of your own play will fade slowly and with challenge.

The scale of colors of your purple and black of one’s carriage remember the funereal bier where Ivanov and Sasha’s like is actually hidden, and soon after, at the end of brand new play, one another Ivanovs also, the future

The new maximalist director took you to whole package of energy of “Ivanov” and you can raised they to the world from visions, that irreal traveling carriage out-of expectations. This can be instance a keen ironic paradox into the trip away from Nikolai Gogol’s about three stallions, the brand new “troika.” Right here this new carriage flies Ivanov on the happier property out of Sasha, even though in reality it isn’t race anywhere and you will isn’t really flying anyone. It is trapped, frozen, brand new reins has actually fell slack…

The whole artwork, plastic material and you can musical build off “Ivanov” enjoys a beneficial psychological perception. Exactly as psychologically, from the hooting of your owl (Chekhov’s remark) very exists the newest melody of one’s mournful Jewish prayer, revealing Anna’s (Sarah’s) problem. The brand new hooting of your own owl while the audio of the tragic kaddish realize Anna (the latest actress Ruta Staliliunaite), reminding all of us that she, even though baptized, features however don’t fully your investment soul out-of her ancestors.

This new manager redacts the language of gamble also it ends up that have penultimate world on the enjoy. Ivanov more sluggish extends out on the ground including a helpless, abused boy. A person who provides intoxicated the fresh new cup of his future so you’re able to the past drop. Perhaps he’s moved annoyed, and perhaps together with he is wise, having waiting himself getting non-lifestyle. “In which is actually Matthew? Assist him bring me personally house,” he requires, having you to shoe from and you can somehow unsuccessfully clothed, up coming falls quiet. He’s hushed close to Anna in the same funeral vehicle. Both silent, satisfied. The fresh hopes for lives has receded.

It’s since if the director is persisted this new dramatization precious by the Chekhov of your own busted tunes sequence, sometimes “heard” in a few from their takes on

Various other versions of “Ivanov” I’ve seen, We have never seen such as for example an arduous and heartbreaking Anna while the the only produced by brand new director together with celebrity Ruta Staliliunaite, a keen Anna who is the equivalent to Ivanov (perhaps apart from the latest actress Konstantsiya Royek from the Moscow’s Nothing Movie theater, just who picked the same road). The latest apparently pair outlines failed to avoid proving the profundity of woman’s crisis. Enjoying and you may worry about-compromising, courageous and you will irresolute, she illuminates this new explore a religious white. Actually ever “pointing by herself,” Ruta Staliliunaite were able to meld intellectual, mental and you will actual term towards the a final tragic portrait. By the way, Nekrosius repeatedly suggested to help you stars it establish its characters by themselves.
