Review of Three sisters Movement Piece: Yes Yes to Moscow!

This piece tries to "probe the sisters' futures within their eternal
present". This review provides very specific descriptions of each sisters
physical vocabulary.

Olga
"The forced optimism of Wilmurt's Olga, the eldest, develops ever deeper
cracks as she tries not to confront her looming spinsterhood as a
provincial schoolteacher in her late 20s and clings to hope in the
possibly radiant future of Irina, the youngest."

Masha
"Kratochwil, often working in German, keeps mining deeper layers of the
resentful, unhappily married Masha. Her giddy, adulterous courtship with
the newly arrived soldier Vershinin, in which she plays both parts, is a
gem. So, too, is the titillated reaction of the sisters when he arrives, a
sharply choreographed trio of flirtatious excess erupting from a military
march."

Irina
"Ulrickson inhabits Irina with a physicality at once flowing and fierce, a
steely determination at times breaking through her sunny youthful
expectancy."

The piece used dance, song, "clinical inquiry"(a man was seated near the
edge of the audience and would frequently interrogate the sisters who were
dressed in hospital gowns), passages from the play, and "sharply focused
acting" to tell the story.
