Résumé
It's Elefpee's birthday, and of course he is typically late meeting up with his friends. It is a question of personal integrity. Emcee, alias Marie-Claude, despises her name and is carrying the heavy load of her father's suicide. Elvisse, who suffers from misery envy in her own ordinary trouble free life,
will tonight witness the staggering proof of her own existence.

- Décor: The Setting
In the corner: The Pile. A sort of hill made up of millions of pieces of couches, cloth, and clothing that have all ended up in a Pile. This heap, this small mountain is called-- Pile Heights.
On top of The Pile, set at the mouth of a dormant volcano: The Spotch. An old couch in a state of serious decay that looks like it’s always been there. The rain, snow and sun all have had their way with its texture, shape and colour. But the Spotch is teeming with life: it’s a bottomless pit of rotting cushions--layers of sediment that might one day give birth to a new world.
At the foot of The Pile are The Remains. The Remains is everybody. It’s everyone else. It’s the audience.
Behind The Pile: The Track. A train runs on The Track but has never been seen. We only hear it. Anyway, The Track is more like a flickering film where ghosts materialize rather than a train track. But one thing is for sure; The Track goes through a Tunnel… But where is The Tunnel? No one has ever been there.

Extrait
« EMCEE : Sometimes, I'd like to be a plant. Have nothing to do except be a plant. Just be. Next to a window. Have nothing to do except be in the light. My only goal in life would be to have enough water. Not quite enough to grow but to continue being a plant. I think that would be totally great. That would be plenty. »
