The story of the nurse is never told in the theater. She remains in the background. She is the confidante, a source of support for the main characters. If the nurse were to confide in us, what would she share?

Under a corrugated iron roof, three women look at each other. Nothing is emptier than this moment for them. They don't speak. FAM SAN'VIZAZ is watching them.

They don't know each other. Euphrasie, Elise and Antoinette are singing.

Euphrasie, a Malagasy woman in Réunion in 1790, Elise, a woman from Morvan in 1880 and Antoinette, a woman from Réunion in 1960.

All three of them have looked after children. They, nannies, caregivers, nanny girls… FAM SAN VIZAZ', a three-headed creature, observes them, accompanies them on their journeys hoping to find what she has lost.

We follow the reflections of three actresses questioning the figure of the wet nurse in France, alternating with the fictional journey of three wet nurses.

Two historical facts are put on the table: the Morvan wet nurses and the Réunion Creole wet nurses (the "nénènes").
