What links exist between literature and evil, art and crime? Ten years after 2666, Julien Gosselin returns to Bolaño and explores his world-oeuvre, accompanied by the specter of Maldoror, emerging from Lautréamont’s Les Chants de Maldoror, out there on the threshold between beauty and darkness, where theatre encounters its accursed share.
