“My feminism manifests itself in an intense curiosity about what women do.” Louise Bourgeois

Rebecca is no longer with us.
Jean-Cluc, her man, her muse, her musician, remembers.
The power of memory, invocation, resurrection… and Rebecca returns to us from the afterlife.
She intersperses the performance with her thoughts and reflections.
A woman in love, with a disarming, funny, and unique way of speaking, who hates emotional stinginess.
Jean-Cluc and Rebecca.
They invite us into their wild recital, at the heart of an immersive soundscape, to make feelings ring out and hearts race.
To share and relive the moment one last time, to dare the audacity of speaking of love, to plunge into the heart of passion, to come together, to laugh, and to leave…
