In Gorky’s playwriting canon, The Lower Depths is the most inspired, contradictory, beautiful, and relevant play. It echoes the world we live in today, on social, political, and cultural levels. The loneliness of the individual, the loneliness of a social group, the loneliness of a nation, a country, and the constant battle about what it means to be an individual and what it means to be part of a society – are all present in it.
The Lower Depths paints the world at the limit of disappearance, at the limit of collapse. The characters are people who have no homes, no families, no money, no means of existence, no jobs, and no hope for the future – they are at the very end of their limits. They live in a world where God has almost ceased to exist. So we ask ourselves, how far can humanity go before it ceases to exist?
