Who is punished and why? Where does the logic of punishment come from? Why does the judicial system struggle to provide citizens with a true sense of justice?

After a long time spent immersed in the heart of the contemporary criminal justice system, Lorraine de Sagazan and Guillaume Poix built a fragmented narrative whose pieces fit together and interact under a marquee created to resemble a makeshift court. In this counter-space where all different genres mingle together, the performance attempts to upend certain facts and grapple with tipping points that go beyond simply good and evil.

The figure of Leviathan, a vast philosophical and literary heritage, compels us to confront the dilemma of violence, its legitimate practice and its regulation by law, and asks us, as it has since the Bible, this same crucial question: who is the monster?
