Anne, John, Luc, Marc, Mathew.

The whole stage takes place in dim light. The movements are vivid. They transcend words. The persons are running everywhere. They are heading towards those tied on the chairs.

Mathew

There they are!

Marc

Quick! Quick!

Luke

Anne! John!

A hollow sound is heard.

Mathew

In what a condition they have brought them to!

Marc

Let’s untie them!

They bustle around them

Luke

I believe they are alright.

They lift them slowly.

Mathew

Lift them up immediately. Time. We must go!

The three of them support the other two and walk in difficulty.

John

Let go of her!

Anne

John!

Luke

It’s us! Don’t be afraid of anything.

Mathew

I m here with Luke and Marc.

John

Mathew, is that you?

Mathew

Yes, my friend.

John

Take care of Anne…

Luke and Marc hold her even tighter.

Anne

John! John!

John

It’s our people, Anne, don’t be afraid of anything anymore.

Anne

Don’t leave me alone…

Luke

Anne, everything is alright now. Time. You are free!

Anne

Free?

Marc

Yes, free!

Anne

John, don’t believe it, it’s one more trap.

John

No, no… Time. Come into my arms, Anne.

Anne

What else will they do to us?

John

Nothing now. Nothing will happen to us now.

Marc

We must go.

John

But, she can’t.

Luke

What?

John

She can’t recognize you, the poor girl.

Anne

John?

John

Here I am!

Anne

Stay with me. Time. Don’t leave me alone.

The stage is shed with light and we are in a house. Anne is surrounded by her friends. Yet, she seems not able to recognize them.

Marc

I don’t know what to do…

Luke

She seems to have absolutely lost her memory…

John

They used to hit us with clubs day and night. Time. Had you delayed…Silence. I would be in the same state.

Mathew

You have suffered too much…

John

But she didn’t confess anything! That’s why they brought her into this state.

Luke

How can they be so dispicable!

Marc

They have committed genocide; they are capable of anything.

Mathew

Then how to resist them?

John

The way matters less, what is essential is resisting.

Luke

This is not enough! Time. Look at Anne. She has suffered too much. She can’t recognize us anymore.

John

We will teach her history again.

Marc

But how?

John

Each one of us will say to her one chapter every day.

Luke

You are not conscious.

John

Then, we will do it at nights.

Mathew

You are completely crazy.

Marc

No, we resist and we will help her by any means possible.

Luke

You are right! Time. We will rewrite history for her sake. She will stay with us.

Mathew

Then we will start from today.

Marc

In this way, we will retrieve the tradition of the peoples who have suffered.

Luke

We will have to go back in time.

Marc

Time is with us.

John

As long as we don’t forget.

Mathew

So, each one of us will have to write down all that he knows. Time. Thus she will have a complete view of our history.

Anne

John, you are here!

John is goes near her.

John

Yes, Anne. I will always be here.

Anne

Talk to me…

John nods to the others who get up.

John

I’m accompanying our friends.

Anne

Don’t leave me.

He holds her hand.

John

So, I’ ll start first.

He is talking to her low-voiced, while the other persons exit the stage.
