Description

Does Sganarelle want to beat his wife? It is she who takes revenge, and here is our woodcutter who has become a doctor against his will to avoid the blows from green wood.<p> As is often the case, Molière, in attacking medicine, denounces quackery, mocks credulity... and criticizes a certain religion. And that is undoubtedly why The Doctor in Spite of Himself is one of his finest and most insightful farces.<br><br> To show Man to Man and to show him how eternal and laughable his flaws are, to hold up a mirror to the spectator, to touch him with laughter or emotion in the face of living beings and – oh genius of Molière – so current, characters embodied and not puppets, men and women, finally, as they are in their humor and their humanity.<br><br> Costumes: Frédéric Morel<br> Lighting: Hélène Robin</p>
