Ariane Mnouchkine: Scène de la mort de Molière

Its climax is contained, very theatrically, in a stairwell, with the players in Molière's company carrying their tubercular actor-manager up to a destination that will never be reached. One gets the distinct impression, watching, that the players are running up and down and up and down on the same two or three steps, the way one might perform such a scene onstage. Molière's death is one of the most famous ever recorded in the annals of the theatre. He was in the middle of a performance of Le Malade Imaginaire, a play about a hypochondriac, when he collapsed onstage, coughing up blood. He got up and completed the performance before collapsing again and being carried home to his death, still in make-up and costume. Ryeberg.
