Solothurn Baroque Days - Misanthropes Then and Now
Overzicht
Inleiding
August 15, 2026, 12:30 p.m. – 1:15 p.m. TOBS! Ensemble members will read from Molière’s *The Misanthrope* and Rebekka Kricheldorf’s *Miss Agnes*.
TOBS! Ensemble members read excerpts from Molière’s *The Misanthrope* and from Rebekka Kricheldorf’s *Fräulein Agnes*. In 2017, Rebekka Kricheldorf rewrote the Baroque comedy, putting contemporary language into the characters’ mouths. “I’m sick of these men. I’m sick of these women. I’m sick of these couples. These couples who are constantly throwing themselves at you because they can’t stand being together. I’m sick of all of humanity,” says Agnes, portraying an extremely outspoken misanthrope who is annoyed by those who are content in their intellectual comfort zone. And in this, she is closely related to Molière’s Alceste from the 17th century. For example, when Alceste exclaims: “Whoever wants to be everyone’s friend is not mine.”
Both plays are frequently performed on German-speaking theater stages and never fail to delight their audiences anew. Through selected scenes, the reading juxtaposes Molière’s Baroque language with Rebekka Kricheldorf’s fresh, ironic, and comical tone.
With Anna Blumer, Luise Frommann, and Florian Gamillscheg
