Thieves created by Flavien Gillié.
"Thieves. I looked in my bookshelf for my volume of The Divine Comedy, right next to it I also had a book by Rimbaud, A Season in Hell, I didn't remember having made this thematic classification.
"I created this play during the second confinement, from old magnetic tapes, Rimbaud's words as an echo to those of Dante, hell seen from the outside or from the inside, thieves are not what they seem.
"I played some other tapes in effects pedals, looking for a drone to mix with these indistinct words, voices passed through a guitar amp, ghostly voices."
