Dido is in the depths of his bar, his exile, his destroyed theater. There, alone with his ghosts, he dryly debates questions of legitimacy, of what place to leave and what place to take. The art of making misunderstandings speak for themselves, of putting the ball back in the center, but not forgetting to cast an eye "this way"... His own. Time spins in this theater-bar, memories remain bleeding, silhouettes have the strange habit of speaking before introducing themselves. It's an actor's word. An actor inhabited by his characters, who ask him to return to the stage to give birth to them and deliver the strict truth of his emotion. The words of an exiled actor. Dido left his country in the middle of a theatrical performance following a bomb attack. No one had really identified the culprits. Nevertheless, Dido was cited as a public enemy. Given his outspokenness against the regime and his commitment to theater, he had no choice but to leave, leaving the audience in agony and his family in distress. This guilt haunts him forever. His demons pursued him into exile until he left the stage, while Afro-African activists continued to harass him in the name of Negro communitarian values. Clashes and turmoil between old theater brothers accompany endless evenings in the bar he bought on credit to sell stand-up repeatedly. But then, one day, a director comes knocking on his door to offer him the lead role in his next show _La Fin de la colère_ (The End of Anger). It's the perfect opportunity for Dido to turn back the clock, confront her demons, bury the dead and return to the stage with a fresh vision of committed theater.
