La mort de Molière (1994)
Directed by Robert Wilson
Overview
A collaboration in which Robert Wilson and Heiner Müller let Molière die, imagine his death in tableaux with text passages recited by Müller himself. “Cinema watches Death at work.” Wilson’s actors watch Molière die: their vigil is hard work. Müller’s comment: “The poem watches a dying man at work, his name is Molière. The poem is not a film. The film watches an actor playing a dying man called Molière.”
