Lieux communs

Polar, fiction and poetry come together in this genre-busting play.

In 2007, Martine Russolier, the daughter of a far-right public figure, is found dead, defenestrated. The young man with whom she had spent the night, and whom she had just met on the Internet, is quickly suspected, then finally convicted.

From the repercussions of this fictitious news item, Baptiste Amann unfolds a game of chase where everyone sees the truth slip away just when they think they're grasping it. Through the interweaving of situations set in four "backdrops", the author explores the torments generated by our relationship with the irresolute.
