"One of the most beautiful films ever made about theater" (Der Spiegel)

To kick off this year's program with a focus on France, the Walder Theatertage, in cooperation with COBRA, will be presenting the restored version of the 1978 film in a unique matinée on 15 March.

If you want to see one of the most impressive films ever made about theater, you shouldn't miss Ariane Mnouchkine's masterpiece "Molière"!

With Molière, Ariane Mnouchkine creates an outstanding visual work: over 120 actors, 600 extras, 1,300 costumes and more than 200 locations bring the life of Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (known as "Molière") - a man who fought tirelessly for his art - to life.
Molière is a sensual feast of color, music and grand images - told with the passion and visual power of a director who made theater history.
