Description

Molière's "The Invalid in Spite of Himself" is the improbable encounter between a hypochondriac and a doctor in spite of himself. A refreshing adaptation of two major works by Molière, merged into a novella. The story of an inevitable meeting between a not-quite-ill patient and a not-quite-quite-a-doctor, a joyful, anachronistic romp worthy of Monty Python, a disturbing analogy to our times where no one is truly who they claim to be, yet everyone ends up believing it. A farcical adventure that blows up classical theatre to remind us that appearances often trump reality.<br><br> The reluctant invalid, a sort of Molière-esque affair, is above all Thomas Caruso Aragona's imagined homage to Molière. A fast-paced comedy with four zany actors portraying 16 hilarious characters.<br><br> It's a modern show at the crossroads of Kaamelott and Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra. A concentrated dose of laughter that brings together all generations around a monument of French culture.<br><br> A show you absolutely must see!
