COMÉDIE-FRANÇAISE | Lucrezia Borgia

The oldest theater company in the world premieres at Kino 35!

Let yourself be spellbound by the genius of the Comédie-Française artists, settled comfortably in your seat. Our spring season invites you to four masterpieces from the classic repertoire: The Miser, Lucrezia Borgia, Twelfth Night and Tartuffe.

The criminal, adulterous and incestuous Lucrezia Borgia seeks to escape from the evil that is her condition, to be recognised and loved by Gennaro, the child she had with her brother. During a ball in Venice, Gennaro, who has an aversion to the Borgias, courts a beautiful masked lady before discovering, to his horror, that it is Lucrezia. Stung by the affront of Gennaro's friends who insult her, and suspected of adultery by her husband, Lucrezia sets a heartbreaking act of revenge in motion.
