Intrigue and Love

Love and intrigue are eternal companions of humankind, just like betrayal and loyalty, devotion and moral cowardice.

The immortal play “Intrigue and Love” by the great German poet, playwright, and thinker Friedrich Schiller tells the tragic love story of Ferdinand, a young aristocrat, and Luise, a woman from a lower social class.

Director Gocha Kapanadze chose to speak to the audience through these timeless themes. After all, a classic becomes a classic precisely because it remains profoundly relevant across generations — something Schiller’s enduring body of work continues to demonstrate.
