The Orchard invites us into the fragile world of a family yearning for connection and struggling with the end of their world as they know it. Threatened with foreclosure and the loss of their beloved orchard, they face unstoppable, destructive forces that dismantle their lives like the breaking of a string.
The Orchard is a hybrid piece of theater and can be seen in two formats:
1. Live & In Person @ Baryshnikov Arts Center, NYCThe Orchard is an intimate, fully staged live performance of The Cherry Orchard. Audiences in the theater will enter an immersive, dreamlike environment where perceptions, illusions, and reality collide as a family in crisis tries to process their uncertain future. Please note that proof of full vaccination will be required, and face masks must be worn at all times at Baryshnikov Arts Center.
Tues, May 31, 2022 - Sun, July 03, 2022 - 2:00PM, 7:00PM, 8:00PM, Baryshnikov Arts Center, The DiMenna Center, 450 West 37th Street, New York, NY 10018. Tickets: from $39 to $125.
2. Virtual Experience - Online. The online experience invites audiences on a journey through a beautifully rendered, three dimensional virtual property that has been abandoned and is in foreclosure. There, audiences can explore and discover magical rooms where they uncover echoes of a past life, now lost, including Chekhov's letters, memories, and ultimately the play, live, in progress at the Baryshnikov Arts Center.
The in-person and online versions will run concurrently - live - for each performance. Partway through the performances, the two versions intersect and the worlds come together.
