Play: The Forced Marriage (Molière)

It’s the big day! The naive bourgeois Sganarelle is about to marry the spirited Dorimène. Everything seems perfect until the bride-to-be reveals that she sees the marriage as the promise of a comfortable and independent life. Taken aback by the libertarian ideas of the woman he thought he could dominate, Sganarelle then does everything in his power to have the wedding called off.

In a generous and high-energy performance, three actors single-handedly embody the thirteen characters in this one-act farce by Molière. With only four spotlights, four folding screens, and four bales of straw as their props, they reinterpret this classic with whimsy and irreverence in an immersive production where everything is on full view.

A jubilant (re)discovery of the work. A Molière, yes… but a Molière at full throttle!
