A musical About love and business A tender, zany burlesque. It all begins in a shopping center. The space makes each one the spectator of all the others and each one is an actor in spite of himself: the ideal place for a musical comedy. The show is everywhere. Long marble alleys, silent staircases, the gently warm air, seemingly beyond time, history and bad weather, but nearby... Behind the window-panes of the shops, painted faces can be seen, sometimes you catch a glimpse, usually it is of a woman. Women who did not always choose to find themselves behind a window-pane, where there are almost exposed as what they are supposed to be selling, at times as well lit up. Like actresses, but without the pleasure of the stage, like women who sell their bodies, while theirs, only serves to sell. And they seem to be the last of the stars under their bright lights, untouchable, and yet so near, only separated from the public by an ever open glass door. Chantal Akerman
