Our withering memories plunge slowly in the muddy and insecure soil of our existence. Is it that illusionary nostalgia or real feelings awake within ourselves real affection? Each of us owns a Cherry Orchard and we try in vain to clear cut it. The Cherry Orchard is a metaphor. It is the metaphor of the indestructible that clings to us with a demonic power. And everything that is indestructible is ageless. The Cherry Orchard is hidden, as well as its owner, Ranevsky, behind an atemporal mask. Both are eternal, so they cannot be destroyed. Their power lies within their spirit. They defy time, create a bridge that links the past and the future and suggest that life is probably just one long expanded moment.
