Co-production
It’s a perfect world where fear has disappeared. Well, almost. Following a strange epidemic, it seems to have resurfaced. Some would even die of it... Blessed bread for Pierre Ménard, an eminent member of the "Conservatoire des émotions", who will try to understand its origins and modes of transmission. To explain this feeling to us, he resorts to a series of experiments, even if it means summoning spirits. Presented in the form of a slightly offbeat lecture, the show dissects the mechanisms of dread, looking here and there at horror cinema and horror literature. Between special effects and unexpected appearances, thrill and reflection, Rémi Fortin delivers a performance that should haunt us for a long time.
