About

Hypothetical portrait of two serial killers is the journey of two wasted children. Two criminal lovers in 1980s Paris. Two men who imagine and narrate themselves to the audience, without detours or morals. In fragments, they unveil a relationship, an era, and a series of chilling crimes. The show moves forward like a two-voice confession, between intimate storytelling and news reports. A frontal theater that disturbs, unsettles, and forces you to look where you would usually turn your eyes away.

Our take on this event

Step back into the gritty atmosphere of 1980s Paris through a haunting, no-holds-barred confession from two captivating characters. This raw theatrical piece pushes boundaries by inviting the audience to confront the shadows of the human psyche. Prepare for an intense, unapologetic performance that will linger in your mind long after the curtain falls.
