In 2010-2011, five men were found in the Deûle. Initially, investigations were closed without conclusive evidence. In 2017, members of neo-Nazi groups were indicted and jailed for assaulting the last victim on the night of her disappearance. It is a whole network of extreme right-wing Hauts-de-France that is updated.
During the 2023-2024 season, the company ZONE - poem conducted a laboratory with inhabitants of the metropolis of Lille around these news items to create a documentary piece where the words of the relatives of the victims is mixed with the history of violence committed by the extremeright. A play to rebuild our empathy and humanity.
