Synopsis
Christopher Honore’s first musical since Les chansons D’amour in 2007 is a sprawling tale following a mother and a daughter and their misadventures in love. It starts in 1963 Paris and ends in 2008 Paris with trips taken in the intervening 45 years to Prague, London and Montreal. Madeleine and her daughter Vera waltz in and out of the lives of the men they love. But love can be light and painful, cheerful and bitter. An elegy to femininity and passion with musical outbursts.
