Questa farsa in musica, liberamente ispirata a Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme di Molière (1670), ripropone
alcuni brani nati dalla collaborazione fra il celebre drammaturgo e un'altra figura centrale della vita
teatrale del tempo, il musicista di origine italiana Jean-Baptiste Lully, e li arricchisce con musiche create

In 1673, Molière and Charpentier collaborated to produce “Le Malade Imaginaire”, with interludes where shepherds, moors, comedians and crazy doctors sang and danced and clowned their way through a succession of fantastical scenes.

We will be looking at the First Interlude: Polichinelle comes to serenade his beloved – with disastrous results! We‘ll be concentrating on mask work, commedia, and ensemble dance work.

Actors and Singers are welcome as well as Dancers!
