Event Die Stützen der Gesellschaft
Print | Go to Admin
DescriptionWith economic success came social prestige. With this reputation came a moral obligation towards that same society. After all, success and reputation were directly linked and they could no longer be separated from each other: this would never have caused a problem for Consul Bernick if this connection had not been based on a lie. The success as well as the reputation. Henrik Ibsen's play The Pillars of Society, published in 1877marks a milestone in the playwright's work: this, his first "social drama", already addresses the themes that will occupy him throughout his writing life - lying about life, moral behavior in times of social change and a lot of hypocrisy. 146 years after the premiere, Ibsen's Consul Bernick is still a prime example of a successful person in the discrepancy between appearance and reality. In the second part of his Ibsen trilogy, director David Bösch explores the universality of this figure and asks whether and where we can find the Bernicks among the social pillars of our time.
