Le Mariage forcé (The Forced Marriage) by Molière & Lully

Molière and Lully set up a subtle general movement alternating between acceleration and rest, creating a work in which they could give free rein to their mutual fantasies.
This movement is the one that should animate the performers, but also the scenic device to be transformed - evoking a "theatre city", as mobile as the "sketches", as colourful as the characters and their costumes, as whimsical as the script.

Argument
Sganarelle, feeling his age coming on, is preparing to end his bachelorhood, hoping to find in the ravishing Dorimène a wife to his liking - that is, at his exclusive disposal - to fulfil all the household duties without question, including, of course, generation! But the bride-to-be is having none of it. After she has explained to the baron how she sees her future life (...very free...), Sganarelle, worried and even alarmed by an inauspicious dream, seeks advice from close but sceptical friends, grandiloquent philosophers, fortune-tellers and even a magician and his imps. When he finally decides to renounce this dangerous union, the beautiful girl's father and brother, only too happy to be rid of an ungovernable daughter, beat the groom with a stick to make him keep his promises!
