Running time 2 hours and 15 minutes, one interval A military officer from Amiens, Choderlos de Laclos β has disclosed the cynicism, hypocrisy, and cold-bloodedness of aristocratic society in his psychologically precise, fascinating, and eternally relevant literary masterpiece Dangerous Liaisons.
In the English playwright Christopher Hampton made an outstanding stage adaptation of the novel, which is the basis for the Maribor production. No one speaks of love these days. There are debates on sex, ageing, aesthetic surgery, money, artificial insemination, depression, and dandruff. But not about love. In fact, love is considered a second-rate sense.
