Magistrat der Stadt Hanau

Enjoy the balmy summer evening with a chilled drink. Experience music, literature, theater and more live. These are the guarantees that have made the traditional "Hanauer Kultoursommer" a success story. This year, an attractive and varied program will be offered once again:

A theater cart travels through the French province in the year 1650, the "Illustre Theater" tries to keep its head above water by collecting hats in marketplaces. However, the rural population is impoverished but celebrates the new play: "Don Juan". While the "greatest lover in the world" stands between hundreds of women, Molière, his creator, "only" stands between two. A love triangle that is highly explosive for the troupe. Meanwhile, the fact that Don Juan ignores all social norms is in keeping with Molière's taste. He looks the people in the mouth with wit and taunts the authorities in his work. He makes a powerful enemy of the church in particular. But then he receives an invitation from the Sun King Louis XIV. How far will Molière be allowed to go at court?

The NN Theater Köln embarks on a search for one of the greatest founders of popular theater and rediscovers its own 35-year history as a touring theater. True to Molière's motto: "The task of comedy is to improve people by amusing them", the company relies on humor, just like him - because "what makes us laugh touches and moves us". So the audience can expect a rousing, humorous and touching play with live music.
