Adapted for 5 characters, we rediscover the adventures of Agnès and Arnolphe in a new light. This jubilant farce still strikes us as astonishingly topical. It invades the space, firstly through the music and the songs with their amusingly saucy allusions, in the purest troubadour tradition, and secondly through the gestures and breath of each actor.
- How do you ensure the fidelity of your wife, keep her for yourself, protect her from the lust of other men, keep her in your power? To ward off his future wife's frivolity and infidelity, Arnolphe has chosen her and had her brought up in ignorance from an early age - but life has many surprises in store for her...
Behind this farce lies a tragedy: the physical, moral and intellectual confinement of women.
