What happens when a middle-class, old and shabby, but very rich, married a noble woman much younger than him?
George Dandin is a comedy in three acts written by Moliere in 1668 (during the "Great Real Fun "of Versailles) in which we can find many typical elements of poetry of the great French playwright: The story tells the story of the bourgeois
George Dandin that, married with
Angelica, daughter of nobles, is in a bizarre situation and paradoxical because of the difference in wealth between the two, in 'obsessive
mechanism of farce, in fact, Dandin happen to all: for the whole work will seek to prove that his wife is yielding to the lure of the noble
Clitandro , will become Despite his confidence of those who conspire against him, he will keep faithless deny the available evidence and even assist helpless his betrayal.
all without the slightest result: his in-laws, the Lords of
Sotenville , nobilotti provincial careful only to maintain the appearance of good repute, give more weight to the words of the aristocratic daughter of the facts to prove that the " put "Dandin provides loro.La 'work, full of hilarious moments
, is a crescendo of humiliation for the protagonist, in addition to damages, should be dictated by the prank superiority attributed to the noble class.
Using elements of typical situations and Moliere gives us another piece of his "
cycle horns "which is one of the highest points of the route that the drama was taking French playwright:
starting from farce and commedia dell'arte, he gives life to the modern bourgeois theater, a theater in the exaggeration of farce and the grotesque typing characters of the unexpectedly sharp satire lies a
, a reflection
, comic but "bitter" about contemporary society
to Moliere, governed by the conventions of a hypocritical aristocracy and respectable, in which the "blazon" is all . A theater that restores life to the otherwise ragged terrain of traditional mechanisms (masks, horns ...) immersing them in real life, giving them a social meaning, sometimes even subversive, without losing any of their original comedy bursting
. A comedy that still allows contemporary audiences to laugh and why not think about.
The show, which takes place in a day, opens with the soft light of dawn and ends at night, near the beginning of a new day in between these two moments the actors wear on stage what may be called the 'controlled
exaggeration "typical of this theater, in fact, each character is very similar to the masks of the tradition: Dandin moves as Pantalone, the servant Lubin echoes clearly Zanni, the Harlequins, the arrogance of the Lord is the Captain of Sotenville Fracassa, and all the other characters have a corresponding more or less directly with the "types" of the Comedy ' Art: the maid Claudine (a "Columbine") to Clitandro (the typical "love").
But the exaggeration that these forms require the gesture and interpreting it within the work, and controlled, so to speak,
clean: it does not serve to bring confusion and chaos on the stage movements, but at Instead, it becomes the strength of a "
perfect machine" in which actors,
in constant contact with the public (which, as was the case in improvisation, is often called into question), they move as
gears of a precise mechanism and that thanks to the lightning it gets its comic effect precisely disruptive.
