Both operas were based on stories by Chekhov and present a psychological density which is typical of his work. We focused the action in a narrow and limited space on the stage.
In “The Bear”, the tension established in the relationship between a young widow and a debtor occur within a ring decorated with furniture of the early twentieth century.
In “Talk About Water Birds”, the theater stage is the basis for another smaller stage surrounded by a curve curtain like in the small school auditorium of the sixties.
