One of France's best-known plays, Roberto Zucco is the
story of a very unusual killer.
Roberto Succo, with an S, was indeed a real person. In the 80's,
this beautiful-looking young Italian killed his parents, escaped
from the psychiatric hospital he had been put in, and set off on a
road trip across France, killing at will. He was however as
invisible as a ghost and slipped easily through the cracks, evading
police, and even escaping from prison, mere hours after being
arrested.
From this real-life story, Koltès creates a fascinating tale, a
modern mythology which furiously questions our relation to life,
death, violence and love.
"An unbelievable journey, a mythical character, a hero like
Samson or Goliath, monsters of strength, brought down by a stone, or
a woman." Bernard Marie-Koltes
