French Comedy L'Avare

Date: June 30-July 1 - 7:30 pm

Venue: Tianqiao Performing Arts Center

Price: 90-580 yuan

A cult piece, played more than two thousand times by the Comedie-Francaise since 1680, The Miser entertains us with its bouncy plot, its fanciful misunderstandings and its hilarious bravura. Ludovic Lagarde gives to this great classic a new energy and highlights how this social and psychological satire is so very contemporary. With spectacular scenography showing the back of a bourgeois house where goods are amassed Ludovic Lagarde orchestrates a physical and merciless battle between Harpagon and his tyrannized relatives. The play, brought to us by a ravishing troupe of actors, is magnified by the extraordinary Laurent Poitrenaux in the title role, as an irresistible and ferocious Harpagon. As scary as it is funny, the comedian creates an unheard-of ambience somewhere between euphoria and discomfort."
