Résumé
This is a tragic tale about the rituals of love. Deep in the woods during moose hunting season, desire, love and possession get entangled in the space of one night. It is a night where violence and passion explode at the end of a strange pursuit. It is a story of flesh and blood where the protagonists, driven into the ground, dream of breaking free to reach the sky, at the risk of losing their lives.

- Décor: The story unfolds in the heart of the forest which remains present throughout the play, even when the action takes place elsewhere.
For example, during the scenes that take place in the bar, the forest will remain the predominant environment and atmosphere; the chairs and table and the bar will simply be additional elements.
Ideally, the play should be staged in an open space, allowing for a constant exchange between the characters who remain present throughout the play, in the shadows or lit, depending upon whether they are in action or not.

« BEATRICE : […] I'm waiting for my lover | My handsome proud male | My solitary male | I look around me | Nothing in sight | No scent of hunters | Nothing | Come, my Love, come | […] A pale mist hovers | Over the expanse of fresh water | I can see the moon shining through, so round and white | I think she's making fun of me… »
