THE STORYTELLER Why are people so afraid of death? If they knew how gentle and fraternal it is for bodies and souls defeated by existence, they would desire its coming instead. As for me, I've only known peace since my death, on that night of carnage and blood, a few steps away from here on Sartine Square, that you people call Victoire Square now. 2 What a night that was! I'm still overwhelmed by the memory of it. My name is Zephyr. 3 You don't recognize it? Not at all? And yet it appears in some of your history books. And yet it's for you that I and so many others, anonymous or famous, lost our lives. So many others! Then I'll have to refresh your memory and remind you of that historical moment that you can't remember anymore. Ladies and Gentlemen, this evening we're going to perform "In The Time of the Revolution." It was long, very long ago
