A collaborative World Premiere with (in alphabetical order): Nir Ben Gal (Choreographer) - Israel, Donald Byrd (Choreographer/Director) - US, Liat Dror (Choreographer) - Israel, Wissam Murad (Musician/Composer) - East Jerusalem with additional music by Muslimgauze and James Whetzel.
A Chekhovian Resolution represents a full collaborative work inspired by the on-going middle-East tensions and conflicts. Employing a literary analogy, writer and philosopher Amos Oz believes that tragedies "can be resolved in one of two ways: There is the Shakespearean resolution, and there is the Chekhovian one. At the end of a Shakespearean tragedy, the stage is strewn with dead bodies and maybe there's some justice hovering high above. A Chekhov tragedy, on the other hand, ends with everybody disillusioned, embittered, heartbroken, disappointed, absolutely shattered, but still alive. And I want a Chekhovian resolution and not a Shakespearean one for the Israeli-Palestine tragedy." International collaborators will join forces together in conveying their different perspectives and shaping their version of A Chekhovian Resolution to the Middle East conflicts.
