Description

1957. A Alger, le capitaine André Degorce retrouve le lieutenant Horace Andreani, avec lequel il a affronté l’horreur des combats puis de la détention en Indochine. Désormais les prisonniers passent des mains de Degorce à celles d’Andreani, d’un tortionnaire à l’autre : les victimes sont devenues bourreaux. Si Andreani assume pleinement ce nouveau statut, Degorce, dépossédé de lui-même, ne trouve l’apaisement qu’auprès de Tahar, commandant de l’ALN, retenu dans une cellule qui prend des allures de confessionnal où le geôlier se livre à son prisonnier…Sur une scène désolée, fouettée par le vent, le sable et le sang, dans l’humidité des caves algéroises où des bourreaux se rassemblent autour des corps nus, Jérôme Ferrari, à travers trois personnages réunis par les injonctions de l’Histoire dans une douleur qui n’a, pour aucun d’eux, ni le même visage ni le même langage, trace, par-delà le bien et le mal, un incandescent chemin d’écriture vers l’impossible vérité de l’homme dès lors que l’enfer s’invite sur terre.
