The Seagull | California Institute of the Arts | 2022

In a faraway estate by the lake, a stage is made for a strange new play, created by an aspiring young writer and performed by his muse. You’re invited to watch it along with the writer’s outdated-actress mother and her famous-writer lover, among other humans with troubled artistic pursuits. 


As the play unravels within a larger play, you will experience the trials and tribulations of being an artist through the romantic entanglements of the characters. A daring reimagining of Chekhov’s timeless masterpiece, this poetic production inhales you into a (dys)utopian atmosphere of realities and illusions.
