Barbara Novakovič
Moliere

May 15 at 8 pm
Venue: SNG Drama Ljubljana (Mala drama)
Duration: 65 minutes
English subtitles.

The performance piece Moliere is a story composed of dramatic personages. Characters such as Tartuffe, Agnes, and Alceste walk the stage…as well as Moliere, his younger self, his mother, his muse… Barbara Novakovič creates a new dramatic text using movement and humour interwoven with characters from Moliere’s plays (Tartuffe, The School for Wives, The Imaginary Invalid), scenes from Moliere’s life, and the correspondence between Descartes and Pascal. All of this combines to make a new structure, “a document of the time in which the artist lived”, as Novakovič put it.

Barbara Novakovič is a director, actor, producer, set designer, and curator. In 1993, she established the Muzeum Theatre which later was formalized as the Muzeum Institute, a production house for performances, visual projects, and publishing. Novakovič’s creativity is characterized by linking the theatre to other artistic fields: music, movement, visual arts….
