Barton • Redfern, Stoll • based on Anton Tschechows „Drei Schwestern"

„I don’t know why everything is so bright inside me today. This morning I remembered that it was my birthday, and suddenly I felt happy, and I remembered my childhood. Summer days at Wannsee lakeside, having a ride on the merry-go-round at the German-American fun fair, shopping in the mall on Clay Allee. Eating banana split icecream with papa.”


It is Ivy’s 21st birthday and her sister Masha presents her with a surprise guest: Andrew, her father, has returned to Germany after so many years. Her older sister Olivia is not amused.

The reunion prompts a couple of questions:

Would their lives with him as a Black role model have taken another course? Would the sisters have been happier living in the U.S.? How do you build up your identity, where is home and at which point are you actually “German”?


Can Asian people play classical music or is this a case of cultural appropriation? And who is allowed to stage Chekhov, anyway? It’s a modern re-writing of the play Three Sisters.
