Knock Ou Le Triomphe De La Medecine est une pièce de théâtre satirique magistrale écrite par Jules Romains, qui explore avec cynisme et humour les mécanismes de la manipulation et de l'influence. L'intrigue suit l'arrivée du docteur Knock dans le paisible village de Saint-Maurice. Succédant au docteur Parpalaid, dont la clientèle était quasi inexistante faute de malades, Knock entreprend de transformer radicalement la situation. Convaincu que  les gens bien portants sont des malades qui s'ignorent Â, il utilise son charisme et un sens aigu de la psychologie de masse pour persuader chaque habitant qu'il souffre d'un mal mystérieux.
Cette comédie grinçante dépeint la métamorphose d'une communauté rurale en une vaste clinique, où la peur de la maladie devient le moteur de la vie sociale. À travers le personnage de Knock, Romains propose une réflexion profonde sur le pouvoir de la rhétorique, la crédulité humaine et les dérives possibles d'une autorité médicale devenue absolue. Chef-d'Åuvre du théâtre français du XXe siècle, Knock Ou Le Triomphe De La Medecine reste une Åuvre d'une actualité frappante, interrogeant avec finesse le rapport entre science, profit et vérité.
