A sonorous journey into the thoughts and memories of a woman named Nina.
Her mother named her after singer Nina Simone, and that name became an inheritance, a lighthouse to find her way as a woman, her life, her own freedom.
Tonight, in a motel room, a few steps from the bar where Nina Simone began her singing career, this woman speaks to reply to the man standing next to her. She speaks because until then he has talked too much.
From one end of the night to the other, she will become another.

She has also created performances, such as " La Bibliothèque sonore des femmes ", questioning especially the place of women in society; and she has created " Poèmes dits par téléphone" (published by Ediciones Héros-Limite) as a possible poetic resistance.

(In the middle of the night). She has worked as a playwright at the Théatre de Poche/CVE in Geneva, during the 19/20 season.
