Due to the origin of the actors and their company, the website is, as already mentionned, partly in french.

In May 2000 as part of the KunstenFESTIVALdesArts, the independent Brussels-based company, Utopia, has performed its work enterrer les Morts, réparer les Vivants. It is an adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s Platonov by Utopia’s director, Armel Roussel. In Brussels, rehearsals began on 3 January. However, the rehearsals have been brought from behind the scenes to centre stage because from the outset Utopia’s actors have been sharing their work’s evolution with the public.

The Platonov Experiment is a website providing an unedited view of how a production is brought to the stage. On the initiative of the KunstenFESTIVALdesArts and with the help of the virtual arts festival Jonctions/Verbindingen, Utopia has invested in the internet and launched an original website to follow the transformation worked by actors upon the characters. The website transmits experiences from life as they happen. >>>
