Philippe Car and Yves Fravega at Lycée Thiers: a look inside the “Adapter Molière” workshop Cours Julien, a cultural thoroughfare in Marseille’s 1st arrondissement, is set to host a distinctive artistic and intellectual event. In the conference room at Lycée Thiers, the public is invited to meet Philippe Car and Yves Fravega, the two creators of a contemporary adaptation of Molière’s Don Juan. It’s a rare opportunity to discover the process behind a writing project that explores both fidelity to the classical text and the freedom needed to make it resonate today. Philippe Car and Yves Fravega have worked together for many years and are accustomed to revisiting great works from the repertoire. In this region of Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur, where theatrical life is particularly vibrant, this talk in Marseille is part of the “Le Premier – Quartier des arts” project, developed in partnership with Lycée Thiers. The evening will be hosted by Matéo Mavromatis. Don Juan played by an actress: a reinterpretation that challenges the figure of the seducer At the heart of this discussion is a fundamental question: what does it mean to adapt a text written more than 350 years ago? Should one remain faithful to the letter or the spirit of the work? With their Don Juan, Philippe Car and Yves Fravega make a bold choice by giving the title role to an actress, challenging a figure that our era now sees as a predator. This reinterpretation questions both classical dramaturgy and contemporary issues of representation. The discussion will open the doors to the writing workshop, exploring what to keep, what to reinvent, and how two writers can build a fresh perspective on a cornerstone of the repertoire. An event open to the public and directly connected to the play Don Juan, it extends the theatrical experience through reflection and dialogue.
