poquelin II is vintage Molière, taking us straight to the heart of the seventeenth-century theatre. And yet at no point does it appear to be a historical reconstruction, thanks to this players' theater that stands or falls with direct contact with the audience, without decor, without showy illusion or ingenious manipulations.

Nothing in their hands, nothing in their pockets: each player is solely dependent on himself and his colleagues to create the theater. These seven players do this with brio: together they play fifteen roles and prove that a repertoire piece does not need resuscitation, that an old text is not necessarily a living corpse, but can be as vibrant and greasy as life itself.

poquelin II is crazy, burlesque, grotesque, carnivalesque, but above all vital: theater close to life itself, while at the same time exposing the theatrical character of that life in detail. poquelin II thus becomes a beautiful ode to the most precarious profession in our theater system, that of the actor/star.
