The Plays
commedia dell' arte , he wrote farces, comedies, masks, and ballets on short notice for the entertainment of the court. He is best known for the great comedies of character in which he ridicules a vice or a type of excess by caricaturing a person who is its incarnation: Le Tartuffe (1664), on the religious hypocrite; Le Misanthrope (1666), on the antisocial man; L'Avare (1668, tr. The Miser ); and Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme (1670, tr. The Would-Be Gentleman ), on the parvenu. Other plays in which vices are personified are Les Femmes savantes (1672, tr. The Learned Women ), on the fashionable, affected intellectuals whom he had already lampooned in (1659), often called the first comedy of manners and Le Malade imaginaire (1661, tr.

66. Jean Baptiste Poquelin De Molière
JEAN BAPTISTE poquelin DE MOLIÈRE Born, Paris, France, 1622 Died, Paris, France,1675. This document was originally published in Minute History of the Drama.
http://www.theatrehistory.com/french/moliere006.html
Born, Paris, France, 1622
Died, Paris, France, 1675
This document was originally published in Minute History of the Drama Purchase " T IS a mighty stroke at any vice to make it the laughing stock of everybody; for men will easily suffer reproof; but they can by no means endure mockery. They will consent to be wicked but not ridiculous." [ These are the words of the man who is rated by most critics as the greatest comic dramatist of all times and considered worthy to stand with Sophocles and Shakespeare . They were written in defense of the play, Tartuffe , ranked as his most outstanding and most representative play. For in the 17th century, as in ours, powerful cliques attempted to censor every play that did not happen to coincide with their own views or selfish interests. We can realize the bitterness of the campaign against Tartuffe from the fact that it was not finally licensed for public performance until more than three years after its first performance before Louis XIV. "Molière" was in reality only the stage name assumed when, as a young man, the embryo genius joined a group of strolling players. So famous did he make it, that few of us today recognize the surname "Poquelin." Molière's father was a prosperous tradesman, upholsterer to the King by appointment. Since this was a hereditary honor, the son shrewdly made use of it to establish and strengthen himself in the King's favor, when, after twelve years in the provinces, he returned to Paris.

67. Jean Baptiste Poquelin Detto Molière
Translate this page Jean Baptiste poquelin detto Molière. Jean Baptiste poquelin nacque a Parigi aiprimi del gennaio del 1621, da una famiglia borghese originaria dei Beauvais.
http://www.saxofone92.it/autori/moliere.htm
Jean Baptiste Poquelin detto Molière Jean Baptiste Poquelin nacque a Parigi ai primi del gennaio del 1621, da una famiglia borghese originaria dei Beauvais.
Sull'infanzia e sugli studi di Jean Baptiste si sa poco.
Pare accertato che, iscrittosi alla Facoltà di giurisprudenza, l'abbandonò per dedicarsi al teatro.
Unitosi a Madeleine Béjart, buona attrice ed energica donna, fonda nel 1643 l'Illustre Théâtre, ne assume la direzione, inizia la carriera di attore con il nome di Molière.Gli inizi sono difficili.
Ben presto cominciano a piovere protesti di creditori, di fornitori di candele, di biancheria, di legna.
Gli ultimi documenti dell'Illustre Teatro ci danno Molière imprigionato per debiti. rimesso in libertà, raccoglie un'altra compagnia e inizia, verso il 1646, le peregrinazioni in provincia che durano dodici anni e che lo portano a Tolosa, Bordeaux, Avignone, Pézénas, Lione, ecc.
Nonostante la protezione del principe Conti (che poi diventerà gran devoto e nemico del teatro) Molière incontra e deve superare ogni sorta di difficoltà per tenere in vita la compagnia.
Rappresenta farse, commedie a canovaccio, "divertimenti" e balletti, compone lui stesso, ad imitazione degli Italiani, Le Médicin volant e La Jalousie du barbouillé.

Il est fait plusieurs fois mention de banquets dans son oeuvre

Jean-Baptiste POQUELIN dit
MOLIERE "L'Avare" Acte III, Scène V HARPAGON, VALÈRE, MAÎTRE JACQUES HARPAGON
Valère, aide-moi à ceci. Or çà, maître Jacques, je vous ai gardé pour le dernier.
MAÎTRE JACQUES Est-ce à votre cocher, monsieur, ou bien à votre cuisinier, que vous voulez parler ? car je suis l'un et l'autre.
HARPAGON C'est à tous les deux.
MAÎTRE JACQUES Mais à qui des deux le premier ?
HARPAGON Au cuisinier.
MAÎTRE JACQUES Attendez donc, s'il vous plaît. (maître Jacques ôte sa casaque de cocher, et parait vêtu en cuisinier)
HARPAGON Quelle diantre de cérémonie est-ce là ?
MAÎTRE JACQUES Vous n'avez qu'à parler.
HARPAGON Je me suis engagé, maître Jacques, à donner ce soir à souper.
MAÎTRE JACQUES, à part Grande merveille ! HARPAGON Dis-moi un peu : nous feras-tu bonne chère ? MAÎTRE JACQUES Oui, si vous me donnez bien de l'argent. HARPAGON Que diable, toujours de l'argent ! Il semble qu'ils n'aient autre chose à dire : de l'argent, de l'argent, de l'argent ! Ah! ils n'ont que ce mot à la bouche, de l'argent ! toujours parler d'argent ! Voilà leur épée de chevet, de l'argent.

    Al paso del tiempo, intentaron conformar una compañía de teatro seria que llamaron "El Ilustre Teatro". Contrajeron deudas que les permitieran encaminar su empresa, y cuando ésta fracasó Moliere fue reclamado por los acreedores y enviado a prisión.
    Aunque sus aciertos teatrales y triunfos se sucedieron uno tras otro, la salud de Moliere empezó a debilitarse. Trató de sobreponerse a su enfermedad y todavía logró poner en escena "El enfermo imaginario" interpretando él mismo el papel principal.
