Molière maître de musique: Concert Various

Public

Concerto

Approved

The 400th anniversary of Molière's birth gives us the opportunity to rediscover his work and his personality from the angle of music. We often forget that Molière was also a musician and a dancer. Music and sung scenes were very present in Molière's plays during his lifetime, before being gradually discarded in favor of the text alone. As a man of the complete spectacle, Molière treats music as an element in its own right of his creativity and affirms it as an art of pleasure and entertainment.

Coming from a family of many musicians, Molière joined forces with two exceptional composers: Jean-Baptiste Lully and Marc-Antoine Charpentier. Together, they will write many masterpieces ( Les fâcheux, Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, Le Malade Imaginaire, Georges Dandin, Monsieur de Pourceaugnac …). This artistic collaboration gives birth to a new genre, much appreciated by King Louis XIV, the comedy-ballet where all the performing arts interact together: spoken theatre, song, dance, instrumental music, mime and acrobatics, all in a spirit typically French rebellious.

Jérôme Correas and Les Paladins have chosen for this concert several sung scenes taken from the comedies-ballets of Molière to evoke in music the most insolent of our great playwrights. These sung scenes are real sketches in the spirit of stand-up before its time, whose grating and desperate, terribly human humor still speaks to women and men of the 21st century.
