Director Claudia Bauer and her enthusiastic cast translate PeterLicht's radical rewriting of Moliere's Tartuffe into fast-paced comedy. In its colourful pop outfit, betrayal shines all the brighter and our present times are firmly in their sights.

The seemingly pious and virtuous Tartuffe deeply impresses the wealthy Orgon and unsettles his entire family, until he is gradually caught in dishonest intentions. So far the story as told by Moliere. In his radical retelling, PeterLicht takes up central motifs of the work, taking aim at our present times in the process.

Director Claudia Bauer and her cast of enthusiastic actors translate PeterLicht's revealing criticism of language into lightning comedy with a colourful pop optics that makes the deceit shine all the brighter, until it finally explodes.
