Monsieur Jourdain is a wealthy bourgeois whose obsession is to become part of the nobility. To achieve his goal, he tries to adopt the manners and habits of the upper classes, taking private lessons in music, dance, fencing and philosophy. He refuses to marry his daughter to the young man she loves simply because he is not a nobleman. But everything changes when the young man disguises himself as a “Great Turk” and offers to elevate Monsieur Jourdain to the rank of “Mamamouchi” in exchange for his daughter’s hand in marriage…

In the great tradition of Molière’s comedy-ballets, Valérie Lesort and Christian Hecq bring this famous character to life through music and dance. With their vivid imagination, they embrace the extravagance of Monsieur Jourdain, a man dreaming of nobility while utterly unaware of how ridiculous he has become.
