English original text
A funny and poignant comedy dramatising the events backstage as a colourful, complicated actress makes her farewell performance, while dealing with unexpected visitors. Drama and comedy collide as they say their goodbyes, declare their love, roar with laughter, spit insults, grab a final embrace, and renew old battles…
The play has been a great success in Brazil, Germany, Canada, Russia, the UK and in Bulgaria at the National Theatre.
