Some scenes may be distressing to viewers.
What is the “secret of evil”? Connecting the works of Roberto Bolaño and Lautréamont, Julien Gosselin follows in the footsteps of these writers who, each in their own way, plumbed the depths of human violence.
The content of this page
Ten years after his adaptation of 2666 at the Festival d’Avignon, Julien Gosselin returns to Roberto Bolaño and stages a dialogue between the Chilean writer and a great 19th-century poet: Lautréamont. Both ceaselessly explored human violence, its origins, and its hidden corners.
In a show that stands at the crossroads between theatre, cinema, and performance, the director continues his work on literature. Rooted in Latin America in the 1970s, Maldoror explores the works of writers and artists who were able to approach absolute evil as close as possible.
《악의 비밀》이란 무엇인가? 로베르토 볼라뇨와 로트레아몽의 작품들을 연결 지으며, 줄리앙 고슬랭은 각자의 방식으로 인간의 폭력을 탐색해 온 두 작가의 발자취를 이어간다.
