Learned Women
at the Comédie Saint-Michel
On Thursdays and Saturdays, the Oxymore company slams the harsh precepts of the classic Les Femmes Savantes
into the air of the Comédie Saint-Michel theater.
(1672) by the master Molière, whose 400th anniversary we celebrated last January.
The character comedy, in five acts and in verse, denounces the ambient pedantry and the reign of false scholars that Molière witnessed towards the end of the 17th century.
In the guise of Monsieur Trissotin, a dishonest man who wants the fortune of a family already torn apart by moral differences, the portrait of pernicious vices is painted.
Besides, no character is spared salient criticism and everyone takes it for their rank.
With great humor and derision, the actors embody this mismatched family in which each member struggles to be heard but where the words have lost their meaning.
The critical subtext of the comedy, excessively mimed,
“Les Femmes Savantes” until July 23 at the Comédie Saint-Michel (Paris 5th). From 9 years old.
