Les Mains Moites is an ode to Samuel Beckett.  

Flo, Ru and Vi : Three women on stage who disappear on by one to highlight their loneliness.
“Flo, have you seen her?” could be interpreted by “Flo, did you all see her?” The spectator becomes the peeping tom. The audience joins the slander of the two other in front of the naivety, the idleness or the madness of « the excluded ». « The excluded » is lost, alone with her memories, vulnerable, hysterical…

All three sitting next to each other on a bench.
They resign themselves to the inevitable isolation. They look again for the difficult balance of the number 3. They stumble between jealousy and compassion…They mistake between opening their arms or biting the outstretched hand…

« It is not a theater of tears, but of cruelty, of humanity » Roger BLIN about the theater of Samuel Beckett.
