Does living an extraordinary story depend on us alone?
This is the story of three women. One wrote a best-seller a long time ago, another is an activist for the preservation of wildlife, the third is a grieving opera singer. This is the story of three building neighbours in search of justice and beauty. This is the simple and wonderful story of three intertwined lives with their ups and downs, their aspirations and their secrets. Above all, it is the story of the stories we tell to transform reality, to make the world a livable place, a playground, a space of beauty!
The play, a human comedy, is carried by the sensational Julie Duroisin, Elise Di Pierro and by the opera singer Julie Prayez.

Une Histoire extraordinary, a little gentleness and beauty in this brutal world. Like a pretty soap bubble, whose moment of bursting we dread, Une Histoire Extraordinaire is a concentrate of gentleness and beauty in this brutal world. And does it feel good! S.B. – LA LIBRE
In an extremely controlled staging, and a set simply dressed in shadows and lights, the actresses Élise Di Pierro and Julie Duroisin are truly stunning.(...) Within the cramped walls of the Blocry theatre, the audience enjoys a feeling of intimacy and complicity with these three everyday warriors. A.B. – L'AVENIR
