Seduction and fraud: The dispute in the Eldena monastery unleash emotions!

For theater lovers, the Theater Vorpommern with its latest staging by Pierre Carlet de Marivaux's piece "The Stm" is a very hot tip. The piece is currently listed at the picturesque monastery of Eldena near Greifswald, which is not only because of its impressive backdrop, but also thanks to Caspar David Friedrich's famous painting. Director Hannes Hametner deals with the exciting topic of seductiveness and passionate dialogue about loyalty and infidelity.

Marivaux, a master of French Enlightenment, illuminates the complex facets of love and human behavior in his work. In "The Dispute", whose French title "La Dispute" transports a deeper meaning, it is about a dispute between Fürst (Hannes Rittig) and Hermiane (Christiane Schoon) about the question of which gender is responsible for infidelity. The dramatic act unfolds when the prince has six children who were isolated at birth with the aim of exploring the question of infidelity in detail for the first time at the age of 18. An experiment with unpredictable results!

an entertaining and philosophical experience

The staging, which can still be seen until July 25, promises a successful mix of entertainment and philosophical elements. Musical interludes such as the song "Let it be love!" from rose stolz contribute to the lively atmosphere. The spectators can look forward to an exciting discovery if the protagonists are confronted with the enormous emotions of seduction and love for the first time.

The stage design of Eva Humburg uses strong colors such as pink and red to make the tremendous emotions of the characters visible. Hametner's suggestion to the actors to sharpen their senses and indulge in unashamedly the game already has an effect: the actors shine with great joy and interact in a humorous way with the audience. Towards the end of the two -hour performance, the questions about loyalty and seductiveness are treated in a playful way, and the thoughtful wisdom remains: "The world is greater than you suspect."

the look into the past

The original context of Marivaux's work is fascinating - it was created in the mid -18th century and for a long time gave the author a little fame before his works were forgotten after the French Revolution. However, since the end of the 19th century, however, they have experienced a comeback and are becoming increasingly popular. The central question of his piece, which gender tends to be unfaithful, remains timelessly relevant and also stimulates contemporary viewers to think. With this staging, the Vorpommern Theater shows that the topics of love and seduction have lost none of their topicality.

Overall, the "The dispute" is an exciting performance that raises questions and at the same time maintains the audience with wit and lightness. Here philosophical depth meets cheerful entertainment, which makes the staging an experience in northern German theater life.

The first performances were already sold out and the upcoming performances promise to spark extensive discussions about the complexity of interpersonal relationships. A good reason to secure yourself quickly!
