Les Fâcheux
Comedy-ballet
Will Éraste manage to get rid of the whirlwind of annoying characters who prevent him from asking in marriage his beloved Orphise? Such is the plot of the first comedy-ballet in the history of Theatre, created in 1661 by Molière's troupe at the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte.
This cabaret (before the hour !) is played drum beating by a troupe of 5 actors, 2 dancers and 3 musicians. The staging immerses spectators in the magic of the Grand Siècle, with candle-like lighting, a lush stage of vegetation and costumes inspired by the era.
