Deep below the streets of Paris are the Catacombs, a maze of tunnels containing the remains of millions of people. Two backpackers get more than they bargained for when they venture into this world and cross paths with the Catacombs Police and the sinister group La Mexicaine de Perforation. A collaboration between Calgary's Trepan Theatre and the UK's Aitherios Theatre based on the real life "cataphile" subculture in Paris.
