Comedy by Molière - in German language. 

Off to Paris! It's about money and greed. More about greed, that excessive thriftiness that was and is considered one of the seven cardinal vices in Christian theology, than about the golden coins that the miser Harpagon has buried in a box in his own garden: 10,000 in number, a pile of money that he now worries about terribly day and night. Because he is also anxious, without question. And suspicious: everyone is suspected of wanting to steal from him, even his own children. They also urgently need cash, but would prefer to get out of their father's house and therefore want to get married: Élise, the daughter, Valère, a thoroughly honest man from Naples, the son Cléante, Valère's sister, Mariane, an extremely nice girl.
Harpagon, of course, has other plans. And above all, they must not cost much: Élise is to get married without a dowry and Valére is to marry an old, rich widow. Harpagon himself, on the other hand, has his eye on the young Mariane. It is clear that this calculation cannot work, but it is endless fun because the theater professional Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, alias Molière, cleverly and with great humor wrote such wonderful complications, wrong turns and gags into the plot borrowed from the ancient Greek Plautus.

So that we can still enjoy it and have a great time today, theater director Ingo Putz is staging the masterpiece, which premiered in 1668 at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal, the home of Molière's comedy troupe in Paris, with a fresh look at the classic for the big stage.
