Maria has always loved Masha. - Masha cannot exist without Maria. A devised piece, based on the character of Masha in Anton Chekhov's The Seagull, exploring the relationship between identity and performance. The Seagull, Or Why Masha Always Wears Black is about the need for a story to be witnessed, about a desire to be seen and heard, and what it means to perform in front of an audience. Giving voice to a character who is otherwise confined to the margins, The Seagull, Or Why Masha Always Wears Black examines what it really means to try to be someone else.
