A title that became an expression in the Greek language itself. A phrase woven into everyday speech. We all know what it means — even if we don’t know that it was born from the pen of Molière.
“This masterpiece of world comedy speaks about something deeply human: fear for one’s health, the anxiety brought on by illness, the insecurity that, more or less, we have all felt. Because no matter how strong we may appear, we remain vulnerable,” mentions GreekAffair.
The play’s hero, Argan, lives this fear to the extreme — convinced that every symptom is a sign of the end. Through exaggeration and biting humor, Molière satirizes our obsessions while at the same time freeing us from them.
The iconic role of Argan is a challenge for every actor. Vladimiros Kyriakidis brings his own hilarious interpretation to one of the most demanding roles in the classical repertoire.
