Synopsis. The play’s protagonist, André, is 80 years old. In his youth he was a dancer. He lives in Paris with his daughter Anna and her husband Antoine. Or maybe André was an engineer and his daughter lives in London with her new boyfriend Pierre? Why is André still in his pajamas and can’t find his watch? So many strange things are happening and all these strangers seem to be behaving strangely! Whatever the case, André is convinced that he is still a strong person and will find a way to defend his truth. After all, he is not senile, his mind is working perfectly… or is it! Or is it?
