Presentation

Molière has been raised to the status of author of the classical canon in the history of literature. Does that reflect his place in today’s world? Do we not run the risk of confining him to the erudite side of French culture, when he haunts popular cultures and creates chaos, fosters resistance, generates controversy, and remains a constant source of surprise?

Distribution

With Léo Cohen-Paperman, Émilien Diard-Detœuf and Julien Romelard from the Nouveau Théâtre Populaire, Martial Poirson professor at the Université Paris 8, Olivier Py

Hosted by Wang Jing director of Hybridités France-Chine
