The cultural program of the Cabildo de Lanzarote offers the play The Miser by Molière, by the Atalaya company (National Theater Award 2008). which will take place on March 1 at 8:00 p.m. at the Víctor Fernández Gopar Theater El Salinero.
With this work, the company enters for the first time into the universe of the French playwright, whose theater exerts a profound criticism against bourgeois hypocrisy and against the worst of high society through comedy and tragicomedy. Tickets are now on sale, at a price of 15 euros, through culturalanzarote.com.
The Minister of Culture, Jesús Machín Tavío, explained that "the Cabildo continues with its commitment to offer quality cultural content, thanks to the start of the performances offered within the PLATEA program, which seeks to offer a stable program of theatrical works that contribute to nurturing Lanzarote with enriching artistic experiences.
IV Centenary of the birth of Molière
In 2022 the IV Centenary of the birth was commemorated and in 2023 the 350 years of the death of Molière, one of the great playwrights of universal literature, which Atalaya is addressing for the first time, about to celebrate 40 years of experience. Molière not only created his own literary style but also significantly influenced the structure of professional European theater companies.
His work reflects a profound criticism against bourgeois hypocrisy and against the worst of high society through comedy and tragicomedy. This would earn him the enmity of the clergy and a good part of the most powerful estates.
With eight actors on stage, this work is part of the great projects of the Atalaya TNT company, and more specifically, among those presented in a musical key.
