A girl raised as a guinea pig to become the perfect companion, a rich parvenu betrayed by his ex-wife and ready to do anything to prevent this from happening again and a whirlwind of cunning and misunderstandings are the ingredients of this lively comedy by Molière. Arturo Cirillo, in his double role as director and protagonist, reinterprets the work of the great Frenchman, translating it into a colourful and modern spectacle that shows how nature and freedom give greater happiness than the social rules imposed by man.
