The show

Alex doit trouver sur le fil le chemin de l’équilibre et au rythme de ses pas, face au vide,
elle nous raconte une histoire pas si ancienne.

À l’aube de la révolution sexuelle, elle cherche sa place au sein de la société,
dans un monde définitivement masculin.

Le glamour et l’humour seront ses meilleures armes.
Cinquante ans plus tard, le droit des femmes reste fragile
et cette situation nous pousse à nous replonger dans cette époque où tout a commencé
