Je serai toujours là pour te tuer: a nugget of black humor at La Folie Théâtre

Written and performed by Sophie Tonneau, Je serai toujours là pour te tuer (I'll Always Be There to Kill You) features Helen, a secluded woman living in the countryside, plagued by malaise. She decides to hire Simon, a traveler, for a very special mission: to give her a "luxury death". He is to stay by her side, accompany her for a while, then kill her without warning, before autumn. But faced with the inevitable, Helen falters and tries to negotiate a reprieve.
