20h30 La Légende Noire du Soldat O by André Neyton
Lices
An ignored part of the 1st World war
"l'Affaire du XVe Corps"
At the beginning of the First World War,
the French Army undergoes the defeat
The Minister for the war tries to make
responsible "the Fifteenth Body",
entirely composed of Southerners of the France.
The soldier O fell under the balls from
his brothers, in the terrible calms of
a firing squad; killed for the example for
the only reason which he was provencal.
La légende noire du soldat O" imagines
the tragic-comic lawsuit of our great writers,
philosophers, historians through their writings
on the South.
