Summary/Abstract: In this article we propose an interpretation-review of the performance of an immortal work, through its classicism and eternal modern character, The Game of Love and Chance and we begin with the introduction of what has gone down in history as marivaudage and considerations on the author and his work (in translation). Staged in a pandemic context and adapted accordingly, sincere love, prejudices and barriers given by social class differences in the love travesty are preserved, and the philologist and the amateur spectator alike retain the wonderful love comedy with psychological insights.
