Argan is ill. But is he?
Argan is dying. But aren’t we all?
Argan wants absolute control. But is that ever achievable?
After a series of upside down attempts to snap him out of it, a solution is found. But will it save him?

The Imaginary Invalid is the last play that legendary French playwright Molière wrote and was originally conceived as a Comedy-Ballet where theater, dance and music are intertwined. Gravely ill while writing and performing this play, Molière explores the fear of disease and the exploitation it breeds through his infinitely humorous dialogue and in-your-face satire. Molière in the Park’s production will feature original choreography by FlexN dancer Cal Hunt and original music by cellist Johnathan Moore.?
