About Seagull: True Story
Inspired by true events, this bold and playful theatrical experience follows Kon, a visionary Russian director whose daring reimagining of The Seagull is censored in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Stripped of his artistic voice and facing the collapse of his career, he escapes to New York in search of creative freedom.
Caught between the weight of his homeland and the illusion of American liberty, Kon embarks on a journey of self-reinvention—navigating love, betrayal, and the blurred lines between truth and propaganda. The Seagull becomes more than a play; it’s a battleground for identity, art, and the courage it takes to speak freely.
It’s worth the applause!
