Eszter Ágnes Szabó: SGANARELLE, 1999

The page is conceptual and visual exploration inspired by the character Sganarelle from Molière’s play Don Juan, a figure often associated with comedic absurdity, contradictions, and complex identities. Sganarelle is a key character in several of Molière’s plays, often portrayed as a comedic figure who embodies absurdity, contradictions, and a mix of self-importance and ignorance. His character typically represents the archetype of the bourgeois or middle-class man, and he is often depicted as a pompous, deluded character who believes in his own wisdom and superiority, yet his actions reveal his foolishness and lack of self-awareness.
