A Story About Love
A solo performance about limerence, desire, and the long road back to oneself.
Agnès is a relationship therapist in a stable, loving partnership. Then a stranger comes to dinner. He is not particularly handsome but he sees her. And that is enough.
What follows is limerence: an intense, irrational state of romantic fixation that resists logic and self-awareness. Agnès understands exactly what is happening to her. She has the clinical framework, the professional expertise, and yet she cannot stop it.
As her inner world fills with imagined encounters and obsessive projections, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about love, desire and monogamy. The answer, when it comes, is not about him at all.
Moving between direct address and embodied storytelling, a single performer inhabits multiple voices and perspectives, creating an experience that is both intimate and physically dynamic.
At its core, A Story About Love is about a woman who has spent her life seeking to be chosen — and who ultimately learns to choose herself.
