Der untalentierte Mister R.
The Social Death or Bourgeois in Drag
Jan Koslowski writes a German-French rewrite of Patrica Highsmith's cult novel "The Talented Mister Ripley" about social death, wrapped in shimmering melancholy, the longing for dolce far niente in class struggle and dolce vita to end-time capitalism. With the great question that Patricia Highsmith already asked herself: Why done it?
The social death is exercised, the bourgeois in drag, the class ascent is asked and the paths of the queer icon Highsmith are walked. The Rewrite is a co-production with the Geneva Poche Theater and for the first time seriously crosses the Röstigraben.
