"Molière, You have been able to please us infinitely! »»

It was by this sentence that Louis XIV thanked Molière for the representation that the troop had just given to the Palace of Versailles.

Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, says Molière, was baptized on January 15, 1622.

In this beautiful year 2022, So we celebrate the 400th anniversary of his birth!

It was the perfect opportunity for the Magic Land Théâtre to immerse itself in the work of this giant, And in the atmosphere of the troop which he then created with Madeleine Béjart.

In the theater time meant troop, troop meant theater. And this is a troop that Molière led with Madeleine Béjart, A real troop, With its shine and doubts, His procrastination and successes! The parallel with the Magic Land Theater was too obvious so that we did not celebrate this anniversary.

The Magic Land Theater offers you a time trip to attend the rehearsal of an unprecedented show by Molière. The actors have drawn trestles which are furiously like those of the illustrious theater of Jean Batiste Poquelin. As we are allowed to reinvent everything, Imagine that the big playwright wrote a piece never published, never reached us ... at the time, We played for the rich and we did not keep the texts! Nothing will be found at the death of Molière, not a line, not a manuscript, not a signature.

Why ? The mystery remains. To dare to invent a room that Molière could have written could seem out of the way. But it is on the contrary a tribute to the one who is for us a huge source of inspiration. A piece that would speak of the eternal lover, Devorating passions of those who consume themselves to have loved too much and of an era so rich for itinerant theater. We propose to take the spectator until behind the scenes of the theater before. It will also be an opportunity to get to know Madeleine Béjart better, Yet umpteenth muse or a real acolyte of Molière? History presents it to us as a discreet working ankle ... Yet without its financial intelligence and its many talents, The troop would not have existed ...

What we selected from Molière's theater is that you had to laugh, absolutely, of all, of all, so that life is just a great theater, So that the world is an endless playground!

During that time, rare were those who dared to challenge authority and make fun of the powerful, doctors, Scientists… Molière was not embarrassed to do it! He even made a trademark!
