MOLIÈRE ET SES MASQUES | SIMON FALGUIÈRES

Created last year at Les Plateaux Sauvages in an indoor version, this trestle theater show rose to a challenge: bringing forth popular, vibrant, and immediate theater in a more traditional space. Challenge met with flying colors! Carried by ensemble energy and exuberant writing, the show enjoyed a resounding, unifying success across all ages. In light of this reception, the team returns for a new run, extending that initial momentum and asserting the power of theater crafted in plain view, in the sheer joy of acting and sharing.

A comedy on the life and death of the famous playwright, Molière et ses masques speaks to our time. A play blending farce, comedy of manners,

political and historical fable, masks and music. A play for three actors and three actress-musicians. In a frenetic rhythm,

upon wooden trestles like a ship, they shift from one role to another: Molière, Madeleine Béjart and the entire troupe, Richelieu, Louis XIV, religious hypocrites and courtiers.
