World Premiere

Roxanne and Jordy have absolutely nothing in common. Except that they are daughter and father. They are also both storytellers, some of them true, some of them complete fantasies. In this comic-drama they take a long night’s journey into day as they discover what has happened since they saw each other last, twenty years ago.
