The stage in absolute light . Two women dressed in black.

Lucy
Where did this light come from?

Dominique
I don’t know… She looks at her strangely. Why are you wearing black?

Lucy
You are wearing black. They look at their clothes.

Dominique
Who died?

Lucy
The other.

Dominique
The other, who?

Lucy
Him who they executed…It may have been a woman…

Dominique
What are you talking about?

Lucy
Did you forget the noise?

Dominique
And what does it have to do with our black?

Lucy
Do you think it’s a dream?

Dominique
No, dreams are stranger.

Lucy
Isn’t this enough for you? She points at her clothes.

Dominique
It’s strange indeed. She tries to take off her clothes but in vein… I can’t!

Lucy
She does the same. Me neither!

Dominique
My God, what happened?

Lucy
When did it happen?

Dominique
It might already have been so before.

Lucy
When?

Dominique
Then!

Lucy
With darkness.

Dominique
Without the light.

Lucy
Stop! Don’t say this word, you will betray us.
