Franz Philipp Adolph Schouwart

Franz Philipp Adolph Schouwärts (also Schuwart or Schuwaert ; * 1757 ; † August 9, 1796 in Leipzig ) was a German theater actor .

Life

Schouwart "played all the first heroes and lovers, decency and effect-demanding roles in tragedy, comical lovers, chevaliers, schemers and caricatures in comedy". Together with his wife he joined the Pasquale Bondini († 1789) theater company in 1783 , which was based in Dresden and Prague. The troupe played in Leipzig at the Michaelismesse in Leipzig in 1783. Johann Friedrich Ernst von Brawe reported on these performances in detail in his anonymously published Raisonnirenden Theaterjurnal from the Leipzig Michael Fair in 1783 (in which Schouwart and his wife are referred to under the name Schuwaert ).

Schouwärts wife left her husband and Bondini's troop in Dresden in 1785 and ran off to Munich with her lover, a baron from Saxony. There she operated as an actress under the name Freno . Schouwärts is said to have written a poem, parting of a German to his un-German girl , alluding to these circumstances .

In the Kestner autograph collection of the Leipzig University Library there are some letters from Schouwärts to his fellow actor Gustav Friedrich Großmann .
