TRILOGY THE TREATIES OF THE PERDITION
In order to block loneliness and boredom, Anaïs and Bertrand play "staaaage aaaactors". Since everything is vain, and life is life, they started to act in order to act, not because it's necessary, not by greed or pride (well, maybe a little bit of it) but just because after all they had no choice but to do it. Anaïs has a spade, Bertrand a jackhammer. They dig Holes. They dig holes not knowing the reason for it. What is there in a hole? Two onions to peel. Two night birds who reach the depths of despair and ask themselves what's the meaning of life, then? Ange & Bert is a duo philosophizing about life. People of the Moon dissecting the mechanism of fiction in order to understand how the human and the work could be builded. Why are we ever dreaming of being another, when we hardly know who we are? After all, it occurred to them that our choices, our wishes never belong to us, and so that the man, being made of fiction and culture, could be naturally and easily manipulated. In the form of treaties, that we'll call The Treaties of the Perdition, constant spectators will be able to follow Ange & Bert performing around their fantasy in order to underline the death of a rotting world.

SYNOPSIS
Following the footsteps of Céleste Albaret and Marcel Proust, Ange & Bert, more hypochondriac than ever, avoiding contact with a scandalous and decadding society, they go and search for a treatment in a thermal spa in the Alps. They arrive in the mountains, and find that the sanatorium is nothing more but a ruin. Mercilessly time is passing by. Despairing, they contact a voodoo wizard who arranges to meet them in Kinshasa. They arrive in Africa, look for the sorcerer, search every nook and cranny and finally understand that the appointment had been at the "Kinshasa", a bar in Barbès, African district in Paris. What's the point of such a deadly chase? To become famous and mark history for ever, in order to enter the pantheon of the eternal geniuses.
