Joining him in this endeavour is Alexandre Desplat, two-time Oscar winner for his scores in the films of Guillermo del Toro and Wes Anderson, who contributes an original musical composition.

Based on the unpublished text of the forbidden, original version of Le Tartuffe ( Le Tartuffe ou l’Hypocrite), Ivo van Hove’s new, spellbinding production, presented in Athens hot on the heels of its Paris premiere, adapts the delightful comedy to the present, showcasing it as a scathing satire and a social drama.
