Filippo Dini has set his Ivanov within a tragic and at the same time absurd and grotesque dimension: ten actors portray a vividly choral fresco of humankind coming to the end of the line, a society on the edge of an abyss with an impending sense of the Apocalypse that soon will wipe out all known reality. Chekhov describes the last years of a man’s life as he comes to terms with his own worldly inadequacy and with the irretrievable loss of all hope in life.
