The Misanthrope in the Theater Tent: Molière sets off a sparkling firework of truth

An evening for lovers of pointed comedic art: Molière's The Misanthrope in the adaptation by Botho Strauß showcases the struggle between unyielding truth and courtly facade. In the theater tent, a stage experience unfolds that unites sharpness, wit, and melancholy in a rarely seen balance.

Production with Bite: Truth vs. Society

Alceste attacks the masks of society, chastises lies and convention – and stumbles over his own ideal. Dramaturgy and direction guide the character between comedy and tragedy, while Célimène shines with dazzling ambivalence. The audience's reactions fluctuate joyfully between laughter and contemplation: a theater evening that allows for both.

Set Design, Costumes, Lighting: Sensual Precision

A clear set design frames the encounters, lighting moods depict Alceste's inner turmoil, and the costumes create subtle accents between salon and dissection laboratory of emotions. In this theater atmosphere, acoustics deliver every punchline crystal clear without overpowering the soft undertones.

Tradition and Present: Molière Heard Anew

Since its premiere in 1666, The Misanthrope has fascinated as a comedy of manners. Botho Strauß's adaptation sharpens the language, emphasizes psychological tension, and brings the characters into our time with contemporary directness. The result: comedic sparks with depth of field.

Ensemble Work with Profile

The acting carries: delicate language handling, pointed timing chains, chamber play moments of great intensity. When Alceste dissects Oronte's sonnet, the air crackles; in the salon scenes, dialogues and gestures dance around the question of truthfulness and roles.

Conclusion: An intense play about truth, love, and self-image. Those who appreciate character-rich productions, clear dramaturgy, and precise stage art will experience an evening that resonates long after. Experience it live now.
