A plotless four-person musical revue based on the songs of Belgian balladeer Jacques Brel, the show opens on a dark and rainy Parisian night. Three strangers -- a cab driver, a soldier, and a meek woman -- find themselves in a theater. After watching a puppet show, they venture backstage and then onto a beach, where they sing songs during increasingly surreal events

Features such songs as "Marathon, " "Timid Frieda, " "Marieke, " "Ne Me Quitte Pas, " "The Middle Class, " "Jackie, " "Au Suivant, " "Chanson des Vieux Amours" and "Carousel (La Valse a Mille Temps)."
