Mission Molière

Alceste is done with it. With the hypocrisy in the world. With the sucking up to each other's faces and the gossiping behind one's back. With the general hypersensitivity. Enough with this whole little play too. It is time for radical honesty. Always and everywhere. Unfortunately for Alceste, he is head over heels in love with Célimène, a woman who has mastered the art of wrapping anything and everything around her little finger. “The players throw themselves with verve, grandly and grotesquely into their acting and maintain that level up to the bitter end.” The performance was chosen because all players deliver intense physical acting with verve and humor, the rhythm and musicality remain upright from beginning to end, and the design, from the costumes to the transparent playing surface, sharply supports the theme. The whole feels like a celebration of playing pleasure, carried by a team that effortlessly maintains the high level.
