Louise MicheL high school in Bobigny
Argan is a legendary hypochondriac. But why does this caprice deprive the father of his lucidity towards the feelings of his wife, Béline, and his daughter, Angélique? If Béralde contrasts intellectual intelligence with the madness of the medical profession, don't Toinette and Angélique depict that of the heart which ultimately cures the sick body of the master of the house, Argan?
It is this intelligence of the heart soothing the relationships between the members of a family that guides us in the representation on stage of the varied forms and registers exploited by Molière in this ballet comedy.
