Film Screening: “Fragment” by Dmitry Krymov

Utilizing the third act motifs of Anton Chekhov’s “Three Sisters” as a jumping off point, Dmitry Krymov’s theater adaptation “Fragment” focuses in on Olga, the eldest of the three sisters. Like many of Chekhov’s heroes who attempt to overcome fate, she is doomed to fail, but it is in the attempt itself that she becomes so close and dear to us. Ultimately, we empathize with and love this very recognizable person who can’t adequately protect herself, her love, and her home.
