When Molière’s theatre is dressed up with clownish, magical flights, acoustic music and electric sound inspirations.
Two friends, Octave and Léandre, have each married a young woman “of unknown birth” with whom they fell madly in love. And without their fathers’ consent! Which was frowned upon at the time. Scapin, a cunning and generous servant, comes back into service to help youth and true love triumph over paternal tyranny.
“Revisiting a Molière play means working with an inexhaustible material of intelligence, depth and comedy. Anthony Le Foll’s staging delights in playing with all the codes of slapstick comedy (running gags, surreal situations, wordplay, wild physicality…) and also manages to denounce the tragically funny excesses of our ways and the darkness of our outbursts.”
