„"The Imaginary Sick Man" is Molière's last creation, in which the playwright himself played, until the eve of his death. Implicitly, the text problematizes the condition of the artist dedicated body and soul to his art, thus becoming a tribute to the actor.

The main character, Aragan, is a hypochondriac addicted to doctors and medication, firmly convinced that he is seriously ill, on the verge of death. For these reasons, he wants to marry his only daughter to a doctor, although she is in love with another man. Through a ruse, simulating death, Argan finds out that his wife is a fake, concerned only with his money, and the only one who truly loves him is his daughter. The play is not represented in the classical register, but benefits from a modern vision, which does not lack refined allusions to the morality of doctors, the deficient state of the medical system, or the titles obtained without merit.
