ACT I
Time and Scene: A sleek, ultra-modern living room minimally furnished. The year is 2037, and Antonia Dupont is draped leisurely across a leather couch. Her makeup is elaborate and unusual, all vibrant neon shadow and cutting black lines. Her hair is mussed. Gazing through the sliding glass doors that open up on to the veranda, she sighs, her expression impenetrable. Clarice is seated across from her, head quirked to one side.
