Written by Molière
Inside Molière’s thought-provoking comedy stands a dysfunctional family questioning the concept of "what it is to be a woman", the question of her place in society, the family, and the world.
The women in this house are wearing the pants and are hoping to break free.
The men around them are spinning on shaky ground.
But all are equally foolish in their touching humanity.
Literally travelling through time, this theatrical puzzle will feed on the hopes of "MODERNITY ". Feminisim will be on the rise. Gender-bending will be bold. Music will drive the hearts.
Chalk and thoughts will become weapons.
A woman with a book is a dangerous thing…
