A true story whose intensity is matched only by the force with which it is transmitted.
Monday, January 4, 1999, Tribunal de Grande Instance de Lyon.
Thierry, a judicial police officer and leader of a drug group, is indicted for aggravated robbery. After 5 months of investigation, he was dismissed from the National Police, referred to a criminal court: he faces 5 years in prison.
In 2003, he missed the most beautiful role of his life: that of Papa.
November 2020, Valencia Hospital: his prognosis is life-threatening...
In this one-man show, Thierry retraces the winding road of his life taken one day "in the wrong direction" and which will lead him "from hideouts to stages".
With disconcerting frankness, he takes you into a whirlwind of life that will captivate you until its denouement.
