In a house in the countryside, because of the covid-19 pandemic, a man and a woman have to write a play together. What in everyday life they wouldn’t dare to say to each other feeds the writing, blurring the boundaries between fantasy and reality.
On stage, filmed people evoke perplexities and question the actors. And the conjugal dialogue, comic or simply cruel, is redeemed in a creative routine propitiated by the move from the city to the village.
What kind of couple is this, after all? What do the new neighbours and even friends from the past see in him? To which place do these men and women belong: the village where they met again or the city where they first met? And how can they write about it together, two people with such different creative impulses and working methods, she who writes to say what she thinks, he who writes to understand what he feels?
A reflection on the evolution of a marriage, the rivalries over which it can be fought, the desires and frustrations at stake; the creative gesture, its different methods and engines and the measure of conciliation to which it is possible to aspire; the challenges of a unique epidemic in over a hundred years and the vertigo of what we call the global village.
Theatre, cinema, radio, television, internet, here is a show that crosses all these languages.
