Produced by: The Elsewhere Ensemble
Playwright: Alexandra Devon (inspired by Dostoyevsky)
Director: Mathilde Schennen
Assistant Director: Rafael Svarin
With: MacIntyre Dixon, Colin Pip Dixon, Arnaud Ghillebaert

A mysterious gentleman. A young terrorist. The eve preceding destruction. A game of cat and mouse begins. Wit, wisdom, foolishness and drama intertwine with violins, questioning injustice and violence in our world. A war of ideas between old and new, between generations and beliefs. A new work inspired by Dostoyevsky.

These pieces have been performed in Paris, Lyon, New York and Boston in both French and English.
