Theatre
HD-Soldat Läppli
Veranstaltungsdetails
At the end of December 1945, Alfred Rasser celebrated the premiere of his character based on the Czech soldier Schwejk (after the novel by Jaroslav Hašek) at the Küchlin Theater in Basel. Theophil Läppli "born on October 23, 1894 in Buckten, Canton Basel-Land" became a national antihero. He soon enjoyed a fame and popularity that extended beyond the cantonal borders. Läppli's endearing way of humorously exposing social absurdities and grievances is unique and timeless. He is good-natured, understanding, direct, stubborn, passionate and, according to his own statements, a "patriotically inclined individual". Through the filming of "HD-Soldat Läppli" and "Demokrat Läppli" by and with Alfred Rasser, the character is still present and unforgotten today.
