In this second episode, Alain Platel elaborates on the international success of Bonjour Madame and reflects on the ephemeral nature of a theatre performance.

At the height of his career and following Moeder en Kind, La Tristeza Complice, Bernadetje, lets op Bach, and Allemaal Indiaan, Alain shocks the world of dance by announcing his retirement.
