The performance is part of presentation of JAMU students, the studio of Pierre Nadaud

Inspired by the novel One hundred years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Solo performance about the life of three women: Ursula, the mother of everyone, who seems to be immortal; impulsive Rebecca; beautiful Remedios.
The portraits of these three women were inspired by the novel One Hundred Year of Solitude, a fascinating book about how these characters are tied to the land and the nature surrounding them. Each of characters evolves in a world that is neither negative nor positive, but simple, self-contained, and full of life.

The performance is accompanied by a musician whose instrument is water.
