The story of the life of an ordinary woman, the difficulty of the choices to which she is subjected as a human being, with no preparation and no return. With themes such as love, falling out of love, hope, illusion and introspection, the character traces through various songs and poems her dreams, her desires, the chance she is subjected to in her wandering through life, her failures, her disappointments and even the idea of facing death as the only way out of her suffering. The play ends with a quasi-Brechtian detachment that everyone's life is worth living for its own sake, and all are worthy of being lived with joy and enthusiasm. Above all, this play represents the individuality of each human being, a story that could seem like just another story among many others, but which is distinguished by its uniqueness.  Pieds Nus / Très loin d'ici / Déambulant / Que notre amour / La pluie / Prière aux âmes déchues / Cabaret song
