Theatre Noir is about the theater and cinema, but this time the theatre is made of paper and cinema is made with cardboard objects and tape. There aren’t video cameras or projectors. There are flashlights and the viewer. Everything is mixed and lights up the stage for a femme fatale, a detective and a boxer, who form the trio of this romantic and tragic play. But there are more characters: one tear and some blood also appear among scenarios and dark places at night, outlining a bloody and fatalistic story. Cigarettes, lipstick and guns for whatever comes. To love is to die and who dies for love is foolish.
