A vocal, instrumental and electronic journey, Pain Maudit retraces the mysterious affair of the "bread that makes you crazy". 

In 1951 in Pont-Saint-Esprit (Gard), some inhabitants were victims of food poisoning that turned into unbearable hallucinatory crises. A man thinks he is a plane and jumps from the second floor, a kid tries to strangle his mother. Filthy beasts, chimeras and colored flashes populate their delirium. 

In this show, between fact and fiction, the singers deploy their singular vocal and theatrical capacities to make the victims' psychological flaws heard, but also the fears of political leaders faced with a crisis whose reasons have never been clearly elucidated.
