Those who believe they know everything about "Tartuffe" rush to the Odeon Theatre where Stéphane Braunschweig, focusing on the confusion part of Orgon, the light of a new day. The curtain rises on a scene of lust. This prologue added by the director sets the tone of the piece is violence of desire and distress it causes to be discussed. As Orgon, the head of household under the thumb of devout Tartuffe as to give him his daughter in marriage, appears as a man tormented by repressed desires that satisfy the fault. Claude Duparfait perfectly embodies this lost man, dressed in skimpy clothing, which seems a prisoner of his body.
Although the piece retains its character through the farce of the sparkling wit Dorine, Stephane Braunschweig offers a reading deeply tragic highlighting the impotence of reason against the blindness and impulses: Orgon is deaf to common sense discourse worn as often in Molière by the maid Dorine.
Far from being a supporter of the erasure of the director, Braunschweig instead offers a personal interpretation of the piece, reinforced by a highly efficient staging where everything makes sense. Thus, home-like prison with high walls rise up hangers leaves appear gradually as the action progresses a sort of cave in which the characters are somewhat trapped. In total this "Tartuffe" succeeds thanks to a staging of clarity and relevance rare, give real depth to the characters.
