Back cover:
On February 24, 1922, the troupe of the Grand Guignol Theater is preparing for the evening's horror show. The thespians fear the plans of an official from the police headquarters to censor their productions, and worry about the threats of a wholesale meat trader from the Abattoirs de la Villette, who covertly sold them ox blood for their gory plays, and from whom they want to distance themselves. They do not suspect that the threats of the evening will escalate to the point of plunging Paris into a terrible carnage. Will they be able to stop the force of destruction unleashed, partly by their fault, on the inhabitants of the capital? Sang de boeuf (Bouchers et acteurs)
is a historical horror epic in which the Grand Guignol meets La Villette's butchers, the Tiger Brigades and Austrian diplomacy, and in which theater is entangled with the history of horror and with a sinister plot of prostitution and drug trafficking, serial murders and First World War traumas, leading you on a tour of the dark side of the Roaring Twenties' Paris.
