Tartuffe or the Hypocrite MITEM 14
Three-act version censored by Louis XIV
Ivo van Hove has chosen a text that is not the five-act version written by Molière in 1669 and usually staged. It is the reconstitution of a lost version of the play. This three-act “Tartuffe”, whose title is “Le Tartuffe ou l’Hypocrite”, was indeed censored when first shown to Louis XIV in 1664.
