A masterpiece of world comedy, Molière’s timeless work “THE IMAGINARY INVALID”, speaks of something deeply human: the fear for one’s health, the anxiety in the face of illness, the insecurity that more or less all of us have felt. Because no matter how strong we may seem, we remain vulnerable. The hero of the play, Argan, experiences this fear to the extreme — convinced that every symptom is a precursor to the end. Through exaggeration and biting humor, Molière satirizes our obsessions and at the same time redeems us from them… In a modern adaptation by two acclaimed creators who have left their own distinct mark on the field, “THE IMAGINARY INVALID” returns to remind us, with laughter and tenderness, that perhaps the best medicine against our fears is to laugh at them… again and again!
