Conspirations

Atelier Théâtre Actuel Mysteries, witchcraft, conspiracies… a fascinating journey back in time at the heart of an incredible criminal case that shook the reign of Louis XIV.Paris, June 1709. Nicolas de La Reynie, retired from his post as Louis XIV's chief investigator, has for years been touring the theatres of France and Navarre to teach audiences the new techniques of criminology. During one of these lectures, an unexpected event suddenly brings the past back to the surface and confronts Nicolas de La Reynie with his demons: those that emerged straight from the Affair of the Poisons, a major criminal case that saw the reign of Louis XIV teeter.

And what if Nicolas de La Reynie's destiny was closely tied to the solving of this affair? Caught between the occult and a state conspiracy, De La Reynie and the audience of his lecture must tread mysterious and unsettling paths in search of a surprising truth.
