The imaginary patient - Emilio Solfrizzi

In the theatrical tradition the character of "The Imaginary Sick", Argante, is almost always played by an elderly actor. As if to underline the coincidence of the disease with old age. This is not the case in Guglielmo Ferro's version, staged on the stage of the Politeama Greco, which aims precisely to bring to light that Molière wrote the work for himself, therefore a man of about 50, and that the drama, so grotesque as to turn in comedy, in reality it is that of the imaginary patient who is not afraid of the disease but of living, of facing his own existence.

To enhance the intrinsic and "dramatic comedy" of the text is Emilio Solfrizzi who moves between paroxysmal outbursts of life and continuous escapes towards improbable cures and pompous doctors.
