Cycling with Molière
Alceste à bicyclette
The camera pans to a washed-up thespian trading Hermès scarves for seaweed; then, like a diva hearing applause, he’s lured back to recite verse beside a TV actor who moonlights as a part-time drama coach. A week of staging Molière in sweltering pantries and hotel corridors proves nothing ages faster than vanity or pesto. Three acts later, everyone exits bearing bruises, bouquets and the suspicion that art is essentially a contact sport.
