On May 26, 1990, Chekhov’s ballet Three Sisters was scheduled to premiere at the Wrocław Opera, but the performance never took place. Months earlier, Poles had witnessed the collapse of the communist regime, opening a new future with new desires, dances—and new Moscows. Perhaps these rapid socio-political changes caused the planned ballet to fade into oblivion. The sisters remained trapped in forgetfulness, waiting not only for Moscow but also for the promised premiere.
In 2019, three decades after the fall of communism, during a school theater festival, Wojciech Rybicki staged his first work. His grandfather had to leave early due to illness. This left a suspension in the performance, and the grandfather never saw it to the end.
