The play tells the story of Seriema, a Brazilian woman descended from Lebanese immigrants. After miscarrying twice, Seriema divorces her husband and flees her native Brazil for Paris. There, she encounters the famous psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, and the two begin an in depth analysis of Seriema. Soon, Seriema uncovers fantastic secrets buried in her unconscious mind, and Lacan, the seemingly indefatigable psychoanalyst, reveals his own inner turmoil. All the while, Seriema, The Doctor, and the audience are challenged by "The Voice", a manifestation of the unconscious that burrows into their souls and uncovers their deepest emotions, and by Maria, Seriema's mother figure and spiritual guide. By the end, both analyst and analysand reckon with the conflict brewing within their own unconscious.
