Dans le Paris de la fin du règne de Louis XIV, la Comtesse et la Marquise, deux jeunes veuves peu pressées de se remarier, mènent une vie de plaisirs, libre et oisive. Rivalisant de coquetterie et de médisances, elles se jouent de plusieurs galants dont elles déjouent, parfois cruellement, les assauts. Dans cette comédie nocturne aux moeurs déréglées, les fortunes et les intrigues se font et se défont au gré de jeux de hasard spéculatifs - jeux de cartes, de masques et de dupes. Le Rendez-vous des Tuileries ou le Coquet trompé esquisse avec un cynisme réjouissant le tableau décadent d'une société fin-de-règne qui met en crise les valeurs absolues de l'Ancien Régime fondé sur l'ordre et la raison. Cette pièce fut créée en 1685 à la Comédie-Française, avec une musique originale de Marc-Antoine Charpentier. C'est la première pièce de Michel Baron, auteur du flamboyant Homme à bonne fortune et comédien célèbre en son temps. Dans cette comédie à la fois sombre et jubilatoire, il se réclame de son maître Molière pour mieux renouveler le modèle de la comédie classique. Il promeut une esthétique du spectaculaire et invente un théâtre sans illusion. Cette édition critique souhaite contribuer à la redécouverte de la création dramatique à l'aube des Lumières Jeanne-Marie Hostiou est agrégée de lettres modernes, docteur de l'Université Sorbonne Nouvelle et post-doctorante au sein de l'équipe ANR Agôn. Cette édition est le fruit d'une collaboration avec la musicologue Clémence Monnier (Université Paris-Sorbonne). In the last days of Louis XIV's reign, two young widows in Paris are in no hurry to remarry, preferring instead to lead a free and easy life of pleasure. Striving to outdo each other in coquetry and gossip, these women toy with their numerous suitors, parrying their attacks, and not without a hint of malice. Set after dark, this is a comedy of loose morals and ludic pleasures; fortunes are made and lost, schemes are plotted and abandoned against a background of card-games, masks and trickery. Le Rendez-vous des Tuileries cheerfully and cynically portrays a society in the dying days of the old king, and undermines the absolute values of the Ancien Régime based on order and reason Created at the Comédie-Française in 1685, with original music by Marc-Antoine Charpentier, this is the first play by Michel Baron, author of the flamboyant Homme à bonne fortune and famous in his day as an actor. In Le Rendez-vous des Tuileries, a work at once somber and joyful, he invokes his master Molière in order to renew the model of classical comedy. He promotes a spectacular aesthetic and invents a theatre devoid of illusion. This scholarly edition helps us to rediscover the world of theatrical creation at the dawn of the Enlightenment Jeanne-Marie Hostiou is agrégée de lettres modernes, and lectures at the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle. She is a post-doctoral member of ANR Agôn, a project that exmaines literary quarrels in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. This edition is produced in collaboration with the musicologist Clémence Monnier (Université Paris-Sorbonne).
