Plot Overview and Performance Details
On September 23, 2026, the performance will take place at the Theatre Bahnini in Rabat, followed by a show at the Studio des Arts Vivants in Casablanca on September 24. The character of Rose, portrayed by the talented Anne Charrier, is a fifty-year-old divorced woman with two adult children. Her life revolves around her job, her children, and the Royal, a local bar where she frequently spends her time. Through Rose's eyes, the audience witnesses her observations of the world around her, filled with humor and a sense of freedom that she has learned to cherish. However, everything changes with the arrival of Luc, who introduces the possibility of a new life together.
