Four performers create three encounters in scenographies borrowed from other artists for the evening. Each time a new improvised story unfolds, revisiting the decor of an existing show and suggesting that everything might have been written beforehand. Performers discover a set they know only by its title, then immediately improvise a piece shaped solely by the stage space. Each improvisation is followed by a post-show discussion (bord de scène).
