Théâtre - Le Bourgeois gentilhomme

Molière’s famous comedy-ballet, adapted by Kronope. The magic and fantasy are brought to life through a blend of genres (mask theater, dance, acrobatics, etc.) and a cast of about fifteen quirky characters in extravagant, colorful costumes.

In Molière’s play, Monsieur Jourdain has only one desire: to escape his commoner status and attain the nobility that is forbidden to him. A delightful, clownish satire of the foibles still present in our society today: the desire for social advancement and recognition, the manipulation of naivety, the fascination with appearances, and the need to be loved and admired—which prevents human beings from being truly themselves. A reflection that strikes a chord in an era when image and self-presentation play such a significant role...
