Arnolphe becomes a tyrant lest he become a cuckold. Molière’s classic The
School for Wives spins an archetypal tale of female rebellion, packaged as
a series of hilarious misunderstandings. Employing Chryssa Prokopaki’s
brilliant translation in decapentasyllabic verse, Ektoras Lygizos continues
experimenting with the demanding genre of farce, drawing forth the
musicality of verse language. At the same time, the director explores the
titillating ambiguity of education aiming at the ‘correct’ performativity
of prescribed gender roles.
