Le Malade malgré lui

On Saturday 3 October, 8:30 pm, at the Casino Theatre, La Comédie des Alpes presents one of its greatest classics: " LE MALADE MALGRE LUI "

CThis daring production skilfully blends two asterpieces from Molière’s repertoire:

What if "The Imaginary Invalid" met "The Doctor" in Spite of Himself*?
- A hypochondriac convinced he is seriously ill.
- A fake doctor thrust, against his will, into the thick of an absurd situation.
- A consultation that spirals out of control…

With its offbeat situations, sharp dialogue and unpredictable twists, this play plunges you into a joyful chaos where the absurd flirts with ever-relevant satire. For behind the bursts of laughter, the theme resonates with our times: pretence, role-playing, the pursuit of appearances… to the point of completely blurring the line between truth and illusion.

Conceived as a modern and irreverent nod to Molière, this show is a true ensemble performance: four actors brimming with energy, 16 characters brought to life, a fast-paced rhythm and creativity at every turn.

Somewhere between the offbeat humour of Kaamelott and the cult appeal of Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, this comedy brings together all generations around a classic that has been brilliantly reimagined.
