A. P. Čehov, Barbara Novakovič: UNCLE VANYA AND 12 BOUQETS

Eleven years have passed. The past is enlivened with the arrival of Professor Srebryakov and his new young wife. The professor’s return creates cracks in time and shifts the trivialities of living. “Time passes differently in your house” is a cue line which triggers a slowly creeping void, camouflaged in beauty. This void spreads like a virus: it stupefies, numbs and wears out the life energy of Voynitsky’s family on their countryside estate. But most of all, it diverts the attention from an omnipotent disease, of accentuating (and advertising) interests of the individual, capitalist, modern superman. Where is God?
