Performance in French with Lithuanian and English subtitles (translated into Lithuanian by Evelina Venckutė)

In this show, Lorraine de Sagazan uses theatre as a counter-space to question the workings of the justice system, its gaps and its alternatives. The Leviathan, an ambivalent biblical figure with an immense philosophical and literary heritage, asks the question: who is the monster?
Confronting the instituted construction of law, its organisation, the possession of authority and so-called legitimate violence, the show attempts, using a variety of registers, to overturn certain obvious facts and operate tipping points beyond good and evil.
