The story takes place inside a house, perhaps a room.
Snippets of everyday life follow one another in an indecipherable, ambiguous, suspended time.
It could be the passing of a day or of a lifetime.
The action unfolds through a fragmented narrative that aims to disorientate the audience whose perception will be pervaded by the doubt of observing the intimate tale of two women or perhaps of a single woman. The misunderstanding is dominant.
The choreographic work builds itself gradually: waiting for something, someone or perhaps simply living, welcoming what its solitude suggests.
