Interview: Building a Live and Virtual Orchard, With Mikhail Baryshnikov and Jessica Hecht

TheaterMania: In the middle of the 2021 portion of the pandemic, director Igor Golyak and his company, the Arlekin Players Theatre, came together to create ChekhovOS, a blend of theater, cinematography, and virtual reality. Coming out of the pandemic, Golyak has merged the universe of the internet with the real-life theater world to create The Orchard, a new in-person and virutal production of Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, now running at the Baryshnikov Arts Center.
