Instead, it seeks to reimagine Moli\u00e8re&#8217;s theatrical vision for our time. With Scotto performing all characters, the play&#8217;s leading role is that of the actor Pierrot (from Moli\u00e8re&#8217;s &#8220;Don Juan&#8221;), who is subject to delusions that Moli\u00e8re is alive, hiding in a theater and awaiting Pierrot&#8217;s questions. &#8220;The play is a tribute to theater,&#8221; says Scotto.<br \/>\nScotto and Feldmann are co-directors of the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de l&#8217;Escalier d&#8217;Or, in Paris, and are well-respected in French theater and screen.
