This monodrama sums up the essential moments of the second scene from Act V of Shakespeare's tragedy Antony and Cleopatra in the Russian translation of Boris Pasternak. The conflict between life and death, between the power of love and the 'power drug' as motives for the suicide of the legendary beauty is transformed into a sensually ardent musical language which can bring out the tessitura of a dramatic soprano very effectively.

Le conflit entre vie et mort, la puissance de l’amour et de la « drogue du pouvoir » comme motifs du suicide de la légendaire beauté Cléopâtre se transforment en un langage musical ardent et sensuel qui rend très effective la tessiture de soprano dramatique.
