After The Soldier's Tale, The Lady from the Sea, and Cyrano de Bergerac, Geneva-based Bastien Blanchard and Olivier Kessi of the Frei Körper Kompanie are tackling a true classic. True to their commitment to blending theater and music, they offer us a fresh take set in our contemporary society: The School for Wives.
Agnès is a young girl raised in ignorance by her guardian, Arnolphe. Guarded by two eccentric servants, she knows nothing of the ways of the world and is destined to marry the man who raised her. Unfortunately, the social aquarium in which she lives is not as airtight as expected, and that is where the handsome Horace enters the picture. From this bleak starting point, Molière's genius takes over, transforming this drama into a brilliant comedy.
Beyond the question of women's place in our society, this play, more relevant than ever, also reveals how power can be exerted over someone by keeping them in ignorance and fear.
