WHITE

A long table with a white stiffened tablecloth. Huge white plates, dazzling cutlery, sparkling glasses. Hot homemade bread wrapped in white serviettes.
A buzz of talks. Some bored gazes into wine glasses. And a sudden interruption by six statuesque men – waiters, filing in graciously with large food plates in their hands armed with white gloves.
A sudden stop, a united silent glance and a simultaneous serving of food. Impressive. The same act when removing the empty plates.

This theatre is overwhelming.
