Museal RomCom // Weimarer Klassik at Spiegelhalle Konstanz
"The lemonade is as flat as your soul," Ferdinand says to Luise. Of course, that's understandable when there was no carbonation in the 18th century. But nowadays, with carbonation available, there's no reason it can't fizz nicely in the stomach. And in the soul.
So, it's high time to take a new look at the gossip mill, the intrigues, and the grand love between Luise and Ferdinand. In the bourgeois tragedy "Intrigue and Love," premiered in 1784, Friedrich Schiller transcended social boundaries with his characters: Ferdinand, son of the courtly President von Walter, and Luise, daughter of the town musician Miller, love each other and want to build a life together. However, parents, jealous rivals, and the prevailing social order of the time stand in their way. In typical Schiller fashion, coerced, swapped, and fabricated letters circulate among the characters, driving the emotional carousel to the extreme. A plot that could inspire telenovelas.
