Gauthier Valence è un attore celebre e amato dal pubblico, che lo segue appassionato in un medical drama francese. Stufo di interpretare eroi buoni di fiction televisive decide di mettere in scena Molière e di chiedere aiuto a Serge Tanneur, grande talento del teatro ritiratosi tre anni prima al culmine della sua carriera. Raggiunto Serge a l'Île de Ré, Gauthier prova a convincerlo a tornare a recitare, proponendogli "Il Misantropo", che Serge ha sempre sognato di interpretare. Adulato e lusingato, Serge fa resistenza e chiede a Gauthier qualche giorno di prova. Narcisi ed egoisti, decidono di fare a turno la parte di Alceste, il protagonista innamorato di Celimene e amico di vecchia data di Filinte. Alternando il ruolo di Alceste con quello di Filinte e ripetendo fino allo sfinimento la scena uno dell'atto primo, Serge e Gauthier arrivano al termine della 'recita' e a un passo dal capirsi.
Marquise is a drama about the rise and fall of a beauteous actress. As cheerfully portrayed by Sophie Marceau, the eponymous heroine is an engagingly ribald, but perhaps rather too modern, character. She rises from an impoverished background to become a favourite of the Sun King, Louis XIV, and the mistress of the celebrated Racine, who wrote roles especially for her; but her fate, in the end, is a tragic one.
In this adaptation of the play by Molière, Monsieur Jourdain, social climber, nouveau rich but naive, dreams of being recognized in high society. He hires masters of music, dance, philosophy. He has gone mad with thoughts of honors, decorations, and power.
Praised at the Théâtre du Rond-Point, dedicated to Molières 2019 by Molière for directing for Mathilda May, and for female revelation with Ariane Mourier, Le Banquet is a singular, strong, surprising and universal show. A wedding where everything goes wrong, a banquet where everything suddenly shatters. Without words but in a universal language, the characters love each other, confront each other, meet again, and get lost in a funny and hectic whirlwind. After the immense success of Open Space and when Mr. X was created with Pierre Richard, Mathilda May continues to make us dream and presents us here with a unique fresco. An exceptional spectacle.
