Synopsis

Morning Song is the second of the two-part stage production No beauty for me there, where human life is rare.The subject of this second part is the quest for the meaning of fate and the accompanying human urge for survival. We already know that the survivors of the disaster in Nicaragua will one day dance again. There is never enough pain to destroy the primal strength to survive.

This is the real beauty of people: their animal urge to survive.
In Morning Song this theme is explored in greater depth through the story of Liliane Grandiflora’s life and family. It is a tragi-comic account of people who keep on thinking they can change their lives then die.

Eight characters take up arms against their fate, in a burlesque style. This leads to laughable situations involving what is glorious and exalted, and to a collective quest for the ‘human condition’, featuring man as the inveterate conjuror of life and artist of survival.
