Martha Clarke, Director Christopher O’Riley, pianist Music by Alexander Scriabin Stories by Anton Chekhov “Love, longing, folly, angst — the world of Chekhov takes flight in the tableaux and movement embodied by six performers. Martha Clarke (The Garden of Earthly Delights) has created a wordless evocation of Chekhov’s tales, magically illuminated through the strong, modern light of Scriabin’s piano repertoire.” This was part of the Lincoln Center Great Performers series.
