The performance "Misanthrope" at the V.F. Komissarzhevskaya Theater is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of classic comedy by J.B. Moliere, adapted to modern realities. The production by the famous director Grigory Dityatkovsky reveals to the viewer deep philosophical questions that remain relevant in the 21st century.

The name "Misanthrope" is often associated with total hatred of humanity, but in fact misanthropes are disillusioned idealists with a thin and vulnerable soul. In an era when social media and advertising impose artificial patterns of happiness and success on us, the performance makes us think about the true feelings and true personality of each of us.

The modern "fashion for positivity", replete with pictures of "how I know how to be happy", gives rise to a special caste of falsely happy people. But regardless of the time, people remain people with their fears, embarrassment and fatigue. Artificial patterns substitute for true feelings, distort the true personality. Who are you today? What happens if someone accidentally touches your fake joy? Suddenly, the real hatred of modern "lucky people" will flare up, who for the sake of their own "I" will not spare anyone.

The play "Misanthrope" at the V.F. Komissarzhevskaya Theater is a production about love that has left the modern world for the lonely homes of misanthropic haters.
