About

French cinema legend Isabelle Huppert returns to Shanghai to star in The Cherry Orchard, a bold reimagining of Chekhov’s final masterpiece. Directed by Tiago Rodrigues, the current artistic director of the Avignon Theatre Festival, this production brings a fresh perspective to the classic story of fading aristocracy and unstoppable social change. Stripped-down visuals, live music, and powerful performances make this version of The Cherry Orchard an intense, almost hypnotic experience.

Premiered as the opening play of the 2021 Avignon Theatre Festival, this adaptation blends Chekhov’s signature tragicomedy with modern theatrical energy. Huppert’s portrayal of the aristocratic yet fragile Lyubov Ranevskaya captures both the grandeur and the sorrow of a world slipping away. A must-see for lovers of classic theatre and contemporary performance.
