Video Production of “Fragment” by Dmitry Krymov

The Cultural Center “Our Texas” is proud to present the video production of Dmitry Krymov’s award-winning adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s “Three Sisters”. Utilizing the third act motifs of Anton Chekhov’s “Three Sisters” as a jumping off point, Dmitry Krymov’s “Fragment” focuses in on Olga (Samanta in this production), the eldest of the three sisters. Like many of Chekhov’s heroes who attempt to overcome fate, she is doomed to fail, but it is in the attempt itself that she becomes so close and dear to us. Ultimately, we empathize with and love this very recognizable person who can’t adequately protect herself, her love, and her home.

“The course of the performance is like a labyrinth – as soon as the viewer settles into the content, environment and rhythm of the stage action, everything changes literally in seconds and a different situation begins in a different environment, in a different rhythm.” – Vēsma Lēvalde, Latvian theatre critic

“Fragment” allows one to feel aesthetic satisfaction, while enjoying the creation and destruction of scenic paintings based on Chekhov in Krymov’s own style. They are permeated by the experience of the history of Western art, and the present appears in them not through concrete, journalistic facts, but through emotion, mood, and the premonition of destruction.” – Leva Simonavičiūtė, Lithuanian theatre critic

“The Klaipeda Drama Theatre has created not only a strong performance, but also a space for directors’ education. ‘Fragment’ is not a success, but a legitimate result of the director’s craft and an opportunity for the viewer to experience the pleasure of theatre.” – Aušra Kaminskaitė, Lithuanian theatre critic
