Spectacle - La Farce de Maître Pathelin

La Farce de Maître Pathelin is an iconic comedy of fifteenth-century theatre.

Beneath its lighthearted exterior, this medieval farce with its lively and satirical tone humorously reveals inequalities, power plays, and the shortcomings of a society where cunning becomes a weapon for survival. By staging this ancient text in a modern form, the company aims to speak to today's world through popular theatre.

Through its mischievous and subversive humor, La Farce de Maître Pathelin critiques inequalities and determinism, as well as issues that remain relevant in our society today.

This adaptation also emphasizes the role given to female characters, highlighting these voices often relegated to the background in dramatic literature. Here, the poorest is often the cleverest, and no character fully triumphs over another.

The project is supported by the Maison étudiante de Paris, as well as Université Sorbonne-Nouvelle.
