This fragmentary reading of Chekhov explores the theme of memory reconstruction and points to its fragility and mutability, with a particular focus on the titular heroines of Chekhov’s play, who are also the only characters in this adaptation.

The three sisters exist in a space of memory: memory of the past, future, and present. These fragments, shaped by recurring sound motifs, sketch a collage of their lives. They are not active participants in their own lives, letting life pass them by, even as they yearn for change.
