As she approaches forty, Bénédicte asks herself a few questions. She invites her grandmother, Régine, for tea in the midst of her musical universe to put her life into perspective with that of her grandmother. A cello, an armchair, a gramophone, and a computer form a cocoon with an air both old-fashioned and contemporary, which she hopes will be conducive to confidences. But that's without taking into account the thickness of the shells that Régine has built around her wounds. Throughout the conversation, through questions or revelations from her granddaughter, and the sound of her cello, snatches of memories still resurface: Régine, a character both clownish and heartbreaking, relives stages that marked her life as a woman at 15, 20, and 30 years old. Between the words, through the music that binds them more than she thought, Bénédicte gradually discovers the woman hiding behind the Epinal image of her doting granny. Other figures from her family appear, terrible or endearing. Resonances between her impediments and those of her lineage, her tastes, her talents too, are gradually revealed. This dialogue between the characters, Régine and Bénédicte, is juxtaposed with the voices of the performers, Mathilde and Véronika. Breathing through humor, the trademark of the i, a mise en abyme of the author's questions, an invitation to reflection as well as emotion, they echo the thread of the narrative fiction, opening up perspectives. One for all, all for one.
