Il tartufo di Molière



Visto domenica 11 marzo alla Pergola.  Mi sono divertito. Quanti tartufi intorno a noi, in Parlamento...Ma il più costoso e ricco sta alla Casa Bianca col suo Presidential prayer team. (1)

Anche Molière fu tartufato, l'ultima volta, con l'aiuto del Re. In questo modo:

Molière morì il 17 febbraio 1673 di tubercolosi mentre recitava Il malato immaginario, prima di morire aveva recitato a fatica, coprì la tosse - si disse - con una risata forzata, e morì tra le braccia di due suore che lo avevano accompagnato a casa. Da qui nasce la superstizione di non indossare il giallo in scena, in quanto egli indossava un abito dello stesso colore.

Il divieto di inumazione cattolica per gli attori e commedianti che vigeva all'epoca fu aggirato, su intercessione del Re presso l'Arcivescovo, con la sepoltura di Molière nel cimitero di Saint-Joseph, ma ad una profondità di più di quattro piedi, misura che fissava l'estensione in profondità della terra consacrata.
