Jesus although he is not present on stage in a role. He is always present in her life and this choice of instrument sheds light on her thoughts about his answers to her prayers.The visual setting of the performance is in the convent garden where the nuns are doing their daily chores surrounded by flowers. The flowers opening movements and the nuns’ express thesame willingness of the soul towards eternal life with Jesus.
