By travelling to various places mentioned in the play's plot, the spectators, accompanied by a guide, will themselves witness and participate in the events taking place. Markučiai Manor is an ideal place for the recreation of, as Chekhov put it, “scenes from village life” at the end of the 19th century. This is facilitated not only by the geographical location, authenticity and atmosphere of the estate, but also by the hilly surroundings, which are ideal for performing scenes both inside and around the building, leaving the spectator with a sense of ‘time travel’.
The spectators of Uncle Vanya will be divided into four groups of 15 people. Each group will be led by a stalker guide. He will be responsible for coordinating the trip around the places from Chekhov's work of 1896. He will also explain to the participants the rules of the game, their rights and obligations, and will hand out masks that may not be removed until the end of the performance. Four different scenes will be performed simultaneously, watched by different groups of spectators travelling through the spaces of the play. Even though the action will take place in different rooms behind closed doors, this will not prevent the audience, along with the heroes of the play, to hear everything happening behind the wall.
The main goal of the creative team behind Uncle Vanya is not to recreate the plot line of the play, but to show the situation in Voynitsky's house, where love and passion are intertwined with hatred, self-flagellation and anger.
The creators and performers of the play will create such conditions for the spectator so that they could not only become an observer, but also find themselves in the middle of the action. This way, the spectator/participant will be able to immerse themselves as much as possible in completely new sensations and feelings.
