La Malade Imaginaire by Molière
comédie-ballet
A wealthy hypochondriac obsessed with doctors and treatments imposes absurd medical routines on himself and schemes to secure a physician son‑in‑law, while his opportunistic wife and pompous physicians seek advantage; his perceptive maid exposes the hypocrisy through disguise and practical jokes, defends his daughter’s true love, and uncovers the follies of greed and medical pretension, leading to a comic restoration of common sense.
