SCENE 1 Nightfall. A plot of land behind the house. Cloudy, stormy sky. The father and his son are stood face-to-face, motionless. The father holds a coat hanger in his hand, on which hangs a costume, with jacket and trousers. A gala suit that sparkles in the low light. In the distance, there is a thin man with long hair who looks like a hippie, observing them.

Aymar Mother Yb Bl Wm (off stage) 20 Yn Wm N (off stage) Father (off stage)

SCENE 2 In the house. In the mother’s bedroom. It’s the afternoon. It’s hot. The father’s costume is on a tailor’s mannequin. This shining suit contrasts with the rustic aspect of the place. Aymar is sat on a chair. He seems overwhelmed. A very old woman (the mother), is stood still in the background, she is a little unsteady, and her eyes are fixed on the suit.
