Clara Olivares and Chloé Lechat build on the opera form to camp the characters and raise the contemporary issues of this unconventional topic. Resulting from their collaborative writing process, their mesmerising immersive project’stage and music directions bring together three singers, an actress and a narrative orchestra. With their help, the opera genre intends to capture all the nuances of intimate life.

A mother and her gifted complex daughter meet a couple of women in crisis. The three adults become friends and try to assist the girl in finding her
sense of purpose. But each of these sentinels reveals different aspirations for happiness and the child slips away from them.

Love comes in many shades as this story addresses many topics of current interest: the patterns inherited from living together, the bitter reconciliation of desire and responsibility, the challenges of being to the world exchanging with one another, the ills of disparity.
