| Summary: | On September 26, 1719 Fuzelier represents at the Comédie-Française his Momus fabuliste, ou les Noces de Vulcain, a sort of critical parody of Houdard de la Motte’s Fables Nouvelles. Through the character of Momus, who became “fabulist” to escape the prohibition of Jupiter, Fuzelier stages a rewriting of the literary genre of the “satirical fable” in the mode of allegorical comedies, whose subversive and polemical power of speech takes a central role and where the dynamic “inclusion / exclusion” - with its metatheatrical implications - remains the theme around which the play is constituted. |
