In 1914, Pierre, a young teacher in northern France, goes to war, leaving his wife Elizabeth with the task of teaching. For four years, Pierre will face the terrible condition of soldiers, from the front, being wounded and taken prisoner. On her side, between solitude, anxiety, and deprivation, Elizabeth will also learn independence. The staging, between theater and slightly animated illustrations, is centered around the character of Elisabeth, who tirelessly waits every day for her husband's return. It is about taking a different look at the subjects addressed by the author and projecting another horizon onto the stage, not to fully unveil the book, but rather to accompany it and be a vector for transmitting this story of the Great War.
The show also existed in a reading - staged version for schools, libraries, and non-equipped spaces.
