In this modern production of The Imaginary Invalid - loosely based on Molière, references are made in a playful way to our current debate about health and disease prevention - a topic that affects us all.
The story of Molière's Argan's illness takes shape through acting, clowning, music and dance. It swings back and forth between stage and audience as well as between hymns of praise and groovy raps about the pharmaceutical industry.
In its new play, the Freiburger Theater Compagnie focuses on the diversity of treatment methods, ranging from traditional Western approaches to esoteric and Far Eastern practices. Current trends such as the cult of youth and fitness, including its vitamin shakes, as well as various nutritional trends - from vegan food to modern concepts such as photosynthetic nutrition - are also addressed
With drama, dance, song, music, puppetry and performance, we tackle the major topic of illness and death in a light-hearted and light-footed way - inspired by one of the most important works of French comedy literature, which has lost none of its topicality to this day.
Suitable for all audience members between the ages of 10 and 100 - for anyone who wants to live a healthy life or has ever been ill 😉
