L'Illusion comique

L'Illusion comique (2010)

In this contemporary adaptation of Pierre Corneille’s brilliant, eponymous 17th century play, the enigmatic Alcandre is now a hotel concierge who uses the myriad in-house high-tech security cameras to show worried father Pridamant the whereabouts and travails of his son, Clindor. As Pridamant witnesses the conflicting romances involving his estranged son, Corneille’s modernist meta-narrative is transposed to contemporary Paris, underscoring the ambiguous nature of love, wealth and desire in an age of consumerism.

This work, which is not a recording, was made with the actors of the Comédie-Française, the sponsoring institution of the work, but in an original staging conceived by Mathieu Amalric, different from that of Galin Stoev performed at the Comédie-Française starting from December 2008, partly concurrently.
