Rue des Dames

You’ve got a “rendez-vous”. Five ladies, each of them under a black umbrella.

The umbrella’s got a skirt hiding the lady to broad daylight

What the umbrella exposes is the legs of the lady and legs do talk

Half-women, half-umbrellas, the ladies take you into a strange ballet spreading confusion among the audience

What if she chooses you? What if you could go underneath the umbrella and see the lady? Just you and her gazing into each other’s eyes? Would you dare to lift the skirt to treat yourself to an unsettling theatrical trick?

“Rue des Dames” is about the intimacy we all crave for.
