The Misanthrope by Molière

What to know

Who is the most ridiculous in the age of self-staging? Molière's melancholic man in love in the person of Jens Albinus is a good guess Molière's eternal comedy travels from the court of the Sun King to the present day, where God has been replaced by Gucci, power is in Hermès instead of ermine, popularity is achieved by rubbing shoulders with the right influencers and giving in to loveis just as hard as it's always been. In the play, we meet Alceste, a profound and intellectual man who despises and fights all forms of falsehood and superficiality. So far so good The challenge is that he is hopelessly in love with the gorgeous Célimène, who surrounds herself with all the superficial sycophants he can't stand And when the opportunity finally arises and Alceste finally reaches out to Célimène, he is so rigid in his own self-absorbed stubbornness that he cannot or dare not give himself to her love unless he can recreate her in his own image. - Date: 11 February 2027 - Time: 20:00–22:45 - Venue: Det Kongelige Teater - Gamle Scene - Address: Kongens Nytorv 9, Copenhagen K, Denmark - Admission: From DKK 705
