Automatically translated. Read the original French text.

"Tartuffe" denounces religious hypocrisy and blind gullibility toward false devotees. It was created in 1664 and sparked great controversy at the time due to its criticisms of the Church and society.

This version aims to be the entertaining, fun echo of, or rather the "Tartuffes" of our current era. Molière would be astonished to find that they plague us today far beyond religion. Politics, the media, show business: they are everywhere. As soon as the slightest bit of power inhabits and clothes them, they make our heads spin. Wannabe Don Juans, rock stars, smooth talkers, they charm and bewitch us, but the downfall is never far away, and it is high time for us to unmask them through this slightly unhinged comedy.

For this, we chose the 70s for the controversy sparked by rock and roll and above all to bathe in the universe of the Doors and the Sex Pistols, whom we love.
