Following the May 1968 civil unrest in France, two theater groups rehearse plays by Aeschylus while two solitary individuals wander the Parisian streets hustling the populace for cash.

After a groundbreaking presidential election, Jeff Tuche becomes the new President of France and moves in the Elysee with his family to govern the country.

柳鲍芙是一位疯疯癫癫、令人捉摸不透的女人，她在巴黎游荡多年后回到了故乡，而他们家族世代传承的樱桃园即将被拍卖抵债。庄园奴隶的儿子罗巴辛提议砍树盖房出租地皮，却遭到了柳鲍芙一家的反对——对他们而言，樱桃园不但是家族资产，还是美好旧日生活的象征。阶级的兴衰和时代的变迁浓缩在这一桩交易上，而人物的命运也随之改变。

法国著名演员伊莎贝尔·于佩尔（Isabelle Huppert）在本剧中饰演柳鲍芙这一悲剧女性角色，她也是《樱桃园》这部介于悲剧与喜剧之间作品的主人公。与家人团聚的同时，她感受到深深的不安。这种不安来自于樱桃园悬而未决的未来，也来自于那个自己曾抛弃在身后的整个世界。

现代社会日新月异，变革纷涌而至。每当狄亚哥·罗德里格兹（Tiago Rodrigues）想起《樱桃园》的故事时，心中总会浮现出一段活泼的快板。在他看来，这位俄罗斯剧作家在最后一部作品中以一种“势不可挡”的巨大能量拉动着每个角色从一幕进入到下一幕。在阿维尼翁这个版本的舞台上，罗德里格兹和他的团队不但试图表达当下社会的不安与焦虑，也为观众展示了新世界带来的希望——即使剧中角色还无法真正理解。

在契诃夫的文字中，导演找到了一种惊人的戏剧燃料。这种燃料不但点燃了他的创作，也打破了第四堵墙，将观众聚集在“当下”我们所面临的巨大挑战周围。

She is annoyed because her boyfriend suggested she try sleeping with other men - the uglier the better. Sugardad, a doctor who visits her mother, and supports them with occasional cheques, now has his eyes on Beth. Alphonse, an older man, intervenes when Beth's boyfriend is fighting with her on the banks of the Seine. When she visits Alphonse later, they end up discussing poetry. Written by Will Gilbert
At 17, Beth faces bleak prospects. Her boyfriend takes her for granted, disgusting her by suggesting she sleep with someone ugly to cement her love for him. Her mother, a penniless invalid, is willing to send Beth to the bed of mom's own sugar daddy, an aging physician, to keep the money coming. Beth picks up a geeky kid at a disco and goes to his fancy house; she leaves him quickly though, pawning one of his books for food for mom and younger brother. Then she starts a relationship with a middle-aged writer. He'd like to seduce her as well. Her only port is Chang, an artist friend her own age who can't take her in. She calls on the physician. What choices does she have?
