ABOUT

​

Hervé Blutsch develops his comedy La gelée d'arbre using themes specific to the film noir: the escape of two cannibal killers, a cavalcade of murders, many shootings. The list of characters also contains, in addition to the two cannibals, decayed police officers, a cabaret dancer with a blunt leg, a prison manager who gradually transforms into a dog, as the play is made of a rapid succession of almost overlapping short sequences with a kaleidoscopic effect.
