The Comfort of What’s Gone (Nostalgia)

Why do we hold onto things that are already gone? In this first episode, we turn to Anton Chekhov’s classic, The Cherry Orchard to explore nostalgia, loss, and the complicated relationship one has with the past. As the characters struggle to let go of what once was, we are left to ask whether nostalgia helps us preserve what matters or keeps us from moving forward. When does remembering become refusing to change?
