Is a play that begins with a king receiving a monstrous enema still capable of escalation?
When puppeteer Heike Klockmeier has her fingers in the pie, certainly. It is “Der eingebildete Kranke” by Molière, which the Ambrella Puppet Theater subjects to a very special treatment at the Sprechwerk.

Ultimately, Molière was commissioned to write a comedy by none other than France's Sun King Louis XIV.

Klockmeier cleverly uses this intertwining to narrate the historical conditions for the play's creation along with the piece itself. [...]
