Along Montmorency Street, four doors. In front of each door, a man dressed in grey. A first “grey” man walks to meet a woman dressed in white. She has three heads. Once at her side, he activates a device that emits sound recordings. They walk together to the first door. When they arrive, the sound recording stops. Then, the three-headed woman dances on a piece of music coming from the inside. Behind her, the first gray man gives the sound recordings device to the second man. When the music stops, the woman leaves with the second man who activates a new sound recording. And so on until the last door. But, when the three-headed woman approaches the last door all gray men arrive. The three-headed woman passes the threshold and dances inside.
