There are people around whom the story happens. Who are at the heart of it, who drive it, through them stories are told. What would happen if a key character disappeared completely from one such story? What drives a story when the key character is not there? What will the rest of the characters centre around?
“Platonov” by Anton Chekhov, adapted and directed by Malgorzata Bogajewska, is a play without the title character – mercilessly exposing the mechanisms in which our lives, hopes and desires are trapped.

We are watching a dazzling, brilliantly acted, yet bitter and very painful performance.
(…) the Katowice performance has a much more universal dimension, not limiting itself to portraying only the Russian community, but all of us who suffer from powerlessness, lack of courage, spiritual poverty or enslavement from which we are unable to break free.
“Platonov” by Bogajewska is Chekhov for a time of war, although the premiere was planned long before the Russian aggression against Ukraine. The ironic tale of the life of the Russian intelligentsia is reminiscent of a ball on the sinking Titanic.
