- Ablette and Amel, each 70 years of age will experience a very particular day. One morning they stop in front of a shop window. Ablette's reflection old transforms itself into her reflection as a young woman of 30 years. Overcome with joy and stupefied by her newfound youth she bumps her head. Injured, she finds herself at the hospital. She escapes from the emergency room, which leads her to party with some sardines, start a fire in her kitchen, gets lost in the street, wreaks havoc in a parade of clowns, and dances a waltz on a hill-top at the end of the day.
- "Fishtre" is a portmanteau word that we invented based on the word fish and the French interjection "fichtre". When the spectator discovers our heroine Ablette, they see a body out of sync. Ablette pursues her route wherever her movements take her. Her somewhat absurd behaviour and her surreal visions reflect the consequences of her illness. Specific humoristic genres (burlesque, clown, buffoonery..) were chosen to tell Ablette's story. Each performing artist who plays a character around Ablette was chosen according to his or her own stage persona. This comedy addresses all spectators. It also allows us to ponder on the question of normality. Ablette without her red nose immersed in humour intrigues. "Fishtre" proposes a moment of evasion whilst sharing a dab of sweet madness.
