Le Misanthrope - COMPLET

Alceste hates worldliness, refuses to compromise and and denounces the hypocrisy of his fellow men. Yet he is madly in love with Célimène, a beautiful young widow, flirtatious and frivolous.

Molière asks us about the possibility of being happy, sincere and free in a society consumed by appearances and pretense. A gritty play, between laughter and emotion. Director and actor Thomas le Douarec offers us a modern version, transposing the play's action to the world of influencers, instagrammers and jet-setters.
Without resorting to provocation, he underlines the modernity of the author's language and message, and reminds us of the visionary rebel Molière was.
