LA CORISTA

THE CHORUS GIRL

By Anton Chekhov

Staged at the Theatre Taller Siglo XX and sponsored by the Russian Embassy in Chile

2015

La Corista (The Chorus Girl) is an adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s tale, and tells the story of Pasha, a chorus girl, that has been having an affair with a married man, Nikolay Kolpakov. One night, an unexpected visit interrupts Pasha's house, a mysterious visitor who soon reveals herself to be Nikolay's wife. 

The Chorus Girl discusses themes such as adultery, identity, remorse, desperation, independence, trust, guilt and loneliness. The play reveals how a bourgeois marriage, that lives exclusively through appearances, is able to deceive and emotionally crush others -  playing out the archetypal dichotomy between oppressed and oppressor.
