Cyrano de Bergerac up close: romantic tragedy in the Kulturhaus Arthur!

What's going on in the Kulturhaus "Arthur" in Chemnitz? On June 27, 2025, a real theater highlight is on the program: the play "Cyrano de Bergerac" by Edmond Rustand. This romantic tragedy has been an integral part of the literary canon since its premiere in 1897 and has proven to be timeless. The Chemnitz figure theater brings the story of the Dandy and poet Cyrano, who is known for his sharp words and gegen art. The premiere takes place at 7.30 p.m., and further performances will follow on June 28th and June 29th.

Cyrano lived in the Paris of the 17th century and is not only known for its extremely striking nose, but also for its deep feelings and unbroken struggle for freedom and love. Behind his mask of the wit is a desperate lover who is in love with Roxane, but does not dare to admit his love directly. Instead, he becomes ghostwriter for Christian de Neuvillette, a good -looking but wordless young man who wants to win Roxane's affection. This triangle relationship ensures multi -layered and tragicomic situations that captivate the audience.

Cyrano and his time

What makes Cyrano so unique? It embodies the central term "Panache", which symbolizes the exotic flair of the flaming courage. Rostand's work is characterized by a happy tone and a clear, modern narrative style that stands in a strong contrast to the pessimistic mood in France after the Franco-Prussian War. The author manages to deal impressively with his poetic elements and the irony of human relationships.

The staging of Antonio Latella, which is shown in the Chemnitz Theater, reduces Rostand's complex work to relationships between a few characters. Through this concentration on the essentials, the nature of the theater itself is put into the foreground and dealing with language as a weapon in political space.

an unforgettable experience

The tickets for this unique theater experience are available from 19.60 euros in the "Freie Presse" shops. If you have the chance to see this classic of French literature, don't miss it! This performance not only promises entertainment, but also deeper insights into the subjects of freedom, identity and the painful ups and downs of love.
